Utilizing the on board 32 channel GPS receiver and built-in position and angular detection sensors the AZ mount Pro calculates its global position as well as the telescope orientation. Using its built-in precision level indicator, the operator simply levels the mount and turns on the power this capable computerized alt-azimuth telescope mount takes it from there. We call it "level and go", the term used to describe iOptron new AZ Mount Pro's simple set up routing. bitstring-3.0.2 folderĪ Python module that makes the creation, manipulation and analysis of binary data as simple and natural as possible.Introducing the AZ Mount Pro featuring "level and go" intuitive GOTO setup docs folderĭatasheets and Matrix method documentation.

Coordinate transformations (based on Toshimi Taki's Matrix Method for Coodinates Transformation). Communications with the computer (receiving commands and parameters, and sending responses). Communications with the device (USB-Serial). Communications with Stellarium (( (client-server\)), python-bitstring)). One for Arduino microcontroller (device): The software is divided on two main blocks, the first one implemented in Python (computer) and the other You can see more images, schematics and parts details in the images folder.
