Both Mini V2 controllers and the Dual port DRO display controller work
with all ASCOM based software packages such as Focus Max, CCDSoft,
MaxumDL, Sequence Generator Pro, Equinox Pro, and so on.
MoonLite offers both 32 and 64 bit drivers. We also offer 2 simple
non ASCOM programs for customers not running a full blown
ASCOM automated system (a simple automated control app to run the
focuser). Single port 1.07 version software and FCP V2 for the Dual
port controller.
MoonLite's 1.07 NON ASCOM software program (photo at left).
Version 1.07 will work with all MoonLite controllers. The original
Mini controller, new Mini V2 controller, DRO display controller, and
the new Dual port DRO display controller for Rotation. However it
will only operate the first port when connected to the new Dual port
DRO display Rotator controller.

customers to store step count positions that are frequently used. Just go
to the step count you want and then click Store and the SP button you
want to assign the step count value to. Once finished with storing all 5
button values click Save and then pick a directory to save the info.
In this case I saved the file to a directly called camera positions. Once
saved I can then open the file in Word pad and modify the text for the 5 buttons to
label them anything that is required. Note the old SP1 button now says filter#1
and will go to a step count of 100 if clicked. Then when I hit Load and indicate
the file, it will now rename all of the buttons.

Hex. Please see serial commands later in this document for more information.
The Software also has a Serial data
log feature at the bottom. This
allows you to monitor
communications with the focuser
and also send serial commands to
the controller. Example if you want
to adjust/ calibrate the temp display,
just type in PO02 in in the box and
hit send. This will change the temp
positive by 1 degree. A PO04
command would adjust it by 2
