DobsonDream can work with any planetarium program supporting work with basic encoders

and DSC. For example, for a PC with Windows, you can use the Cartes De Ciel planetarium,

and for mobile devices with the Android or iOS SkySafari planetarium. DobsonDream is

made in two versions. Their difference in different communication interfaces, WiFi or

Bluetooth.

Next, all examples will be shown for mounting Dobson, although this system can be

installed for any azimutal or equatorial mount

2. Preparation for work

Before starting work, the appropriate encoders must be installed on the telescope mount. The

type of connector and pinout of the encoder wiring must match Photo 3.

1. Connect the encoders to the ENC connector of the DobsonDream controller.

2. Connect the 12V power supply to the 12V connector of the DobsonDream controller. The

center pin of the connector is positive.

3. Using the DobsonDream setting panel (version for Android only), specify in the

controller the number of encoder steps / pulses for which each axis completes a full

revolution. DobsonDream will remember this data. And if the number of steps / pulses of the

encoder does not change, then on subsequent inclusions this item can be skipped. Photo 4

shows the sequence of steps for setting the number of encoder steps / pulses.
