Future Hand controller code

Hi Bill and Frank
Also remember that the old 4 button controller(no LED readouts) that was originally??? supplied with the early Gemini units also works with the Gemini 2.??? It is still available from Losmandy.??? I think this is the same unit that is used with the stepper motor non-goto units, but since I have never seen a non-goto Losmandy mount I am not sure.??? So with the Gemini 2 you have 3 choices of which buttons to use.

Hi Bill,

I have that same problem using the hand control...Usually "Guide" is too slow and accidently hitting the opposite button drives the object right off if I am not counting the times I press the button. How is this handled in professional telescopes ?

Hi Bill and Frank
You could also build a joystick something like what Rainer did.

PS The schematic for the Joystick is correct.??? When the push button is pushed, it acts as if you pushed the opposite button while keeping the current direction button engaged, on a 4 button controller.??? This is a very clever way to do it with a joystick and one button. This single button will change the speed by pushing it when the joystick lever is in one of the 4 directions.
