#rDUINOScope v2.1 Boiana EQ =========================================================== Release date: 28 March 2017 Status: official BETA Author: Dessislav Gouzgounov (deskog@gmail.com) This is the final release of the rDUINOScope software for Equatorial Mounts. There is a “jump” in versioning after latest V.1.8, because small improvements have been made for the past year, but those were never released to the general public, thus V.2.1 is a cumulative release. PLEASE NOTE: Within v2.1 I promised support for AltAz / Dobsonian mounts. Later in the development I decided to split the code in 2 streams: - #rDUINOScope v2.1 Boiana EQ - Version for German Equatorial Mounts; - #rDUINOScope v2.1 Boiana AltAz – Version for AltAz / Dobsonian Mounts; By the time of this release the AltAz version is ready but not tested, thus it will be released a bit later! New features added in v2.1: =========================================================== - Added “1 Star Alignment” Method; - Added “Iterative Alignment” Method; - Added 200 brightest stars to be used in alignment procedures; - Added Bluetooth control from Stellarium (cloned LX200 communication protocols); - Added Bluetooth connection with PC; - Code has been refactored for easy reading/editing; - Bug fixes: o Wrong DEC movement for negative DEC values; o Revised RA movement formula; o OnScreen messages have been fixed; o 1px. Buttons move after press event was fixed; F.A.Q. =========================================================== Q: I downloaded the files, but Arduino IDE keeps showing errors for missing library files. Where are those files? A: You can download LIBRARY files from the project website (http://rduinoscope.co.nf) or GitHub. You also need to download the SD card content as it holds the Stellar Objects DB. Q: Why it is called Boiana? A: This release is dedicated to my daughter Boiana, who have a special day today 28 March 2017! Q: How do I report Bugs? A: Use the facebook group and send me a message there.
