Hi,

I am using your lib in my Project: https://groups.io/g/TeenAstro/wiki/home Your are mentioned has contributor šŸ„‡

Many user has requested servo motor support. Trinamic has a board that is interesting, the TMC4671, https://www.trinamic.com/support/eval-kits/details/tmc4671-bob/

Are you interested to explore that path?

Charles

Hey, that's a really cool looking project! Happy that I've made something you've found useful =)

While I don't really know much about telescopes and everything related, I can help out if you can get down to specifics.

I am using the TMC lib for the TMC5160 and the TMC2130 if you can extend the lib to be able to support the TMC4671, it just fine. I will need the lib to configure the chip via spi (parameter like current, encoder resolution etc...) and then control the motor via the step/dir interface (i don't need th lib for that :)). The board is quite interesting as it supports both stepper and servo. Expert things like stall guard are for me not important, I just need the basic feature of the board.

I am not familiar with all theĀ registry stuff and thanks your lib IĀ saved me a lot of my time for the telescop related issues. If I was able to do that I would have not asked.

I'll see what I can do. But I'd rather not give a time line as I wouldn't meet it anyhow =)

You made a great job, take your time and have fun. If there is no fun all this have no sense.
