Hello, I just finished printing OAT including Astro Guider. Everything works perfectly (at least I think). I was able to connect the mount to all the various software. I have a need, I would like to align the optics of the star guide to that of the reflex. Has anyone had this need and found a solution? Thank you
So some background,
I have a core XY 330x330x400 with the VzBot top end and the EVA carriage, it is fast, runs Klipper and currently has a mechanical x end stop on the carriage.
I don't want to mount the x stop on the Y carriages if I can avoid it, simply due to more wiring and cable chains etc being just more drag on another axis, but now that I have the ADXL sensor mounted on the printhead I can see and hear chatter from the arm on the end stop switch.
My thought process is that I can just swap out the mechanical switch for an optical that I have in the spares box, thereby removing the little metal arm that is flapping about and giving me resonance and noise at speed but I am concerned that the optical might not be robust enough to get thrown about, I run 10k plus acceleration a lot of the time which the frame and the machine deal with well but again that noisy little arm is bugging me.
So really the question is, should I swap it out or is it a waste of time?
And yeah I have googled the crap out of it and am still not sure.
Help a brother out and give me your 2c worth on this please.
Last night I put rings on my 8in Astrograph and there were 4 adjustment screws on the dovetail plate. What are they for? Why would the alignment even matter?
How would you prefer to take a z axis verification measurements on a ram optical measuring system or opti? Standards available gage blocks, glass scale for comparator calibration, angle blocks. X and y on the glass scale. How about z?
