Hi Khalid, this is great setup, but is there a way to adapt guiding? Also are there detailed instructions anywhere far as setup, flashing and optional alternatives to the connections used for the stepper motors such as RJ45? Also would this be a better performing system compared to the Bluepill setup? Thank you sir for your contribution to this project.
Hi Khalid, I sent you a mail with and order for 2 STM32 kitts without Bluepill (I already have these controllers). I want to know if the kitt is still available. Thanks a lot!...
flashing the fysetc s6 v2 is simple; with no power to the board.. jumper on boot pins close to usb > power on(19v 4a.. adviced from Khalid and it worked for me) and check stm32 cubeprogrammer if it's in dfu mode > upload using arduino ide > when done uploading power off before going into boot mode again> take off boot jumper.
HI Khalid, I am ready to flash my board but wanted to makes sure about the irun configuration. Should it be in Amps or milliamps? Config.H looks like it is asking for mA. I have TMC5160 drivers so I need to input the value. Thanks for any help Khalid!!!!
Hi Khalid, Great video. I am planning to make one using wWemos D1 R32 and CNC system and my gear is a reflector ota+dslr weighing upto 7.5 kg on an EQ5 MOUNT. Could you please suggest which NEMA17 STEPPER MOTOR should I select for the setup. I see different specifications with different load capacities. May I also request you to suggest how to configure a 200 step (1.8 deg) stepper motor and what should be the GR1 and GR2 in the Onstep config generator (my gears are 16t and 60t pulleys for both axes). Thanks in advance.
The Wemos R32 has too many special cases and limitations. If you use it for a basic system (only two motors), it may be sufficient, but you have to follow the instructions very carefully. For questions on the R32, please ask in the OnStep group because I don't use it.
It depends on what you have connected. For example, what current are the motors, do you have a focuser motor too, dew heaters, ..etc. For me, with just two motors and one dew heater, I use a laptop power supply that is 19V and 4A. Works well.
@@khalid_ba hi Khalid.. im flash the s6 v2 as follows concerning the jumpers.. boot jumper on 2pins close to usb.. usb jumper on usb5v and 5v.. disconnect usb from pc after flashing and take off boot jumper. after flashing where do you leave the jumper from usb5v-5v-dc5v?

The FYSETC S6 V2.0 board definitely works. I use one myself for my mount. Go to the OnStep Wiki. All the info is there. But you have to careful with the jumper that says USB/DC, and set it to only DC, which means an external power supply is needed when you flash it. The USB setting on that jumper was not confirmed to be the cause of one or two cases of the board dying, but using the DC setting makes it safe, just to be sure.
Thanks Khalid for the quick reply!! I just ordered the board and I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question. Now i'll have to see how I do with setting up the Config file and flashing the board. I don't think My board will be here for another month though.

Great timing. I'm picking parts for my OnStep build right now!
That works great 👍. Thank you for making this video and sharing it.
Great, all components are here, seems i should start assembling
I like this build. You can just put the parts together and it works.

For possible answers, check the the Wiki on the OnStep group
Khalid, thanks for the videos! I just started looking at onstep and was wondering if this configuration can work with ascom through USB?
Yes. There is an ASCOM driver that you can download from Howard Dutton's site. He is the author of OnStep.
@@khalid_ba Thanks Khalid!

Also do you know of an already designed STL file for a box to house this project in?
There used to be a box design on the OnStep group under the Files section.

The IRUN and IGOTO are all in milliamps.

Hi Khalid,
Thank you for your suggestions. I will try to work your model and reach out to you for any clarification.
what ac dc adapter do you recommend for this setup with 2 0.9 nema 17's
It depends on what you have connected. For example, what current are the motors, do you have a focuser motor too, dew heaters, ..etc.
For me, with just two motors and one dew heater, I use a laptop power supply that is 19V and 4A. Works well.
