The ultimate allsky accessory to turn your allsky camera into a true miniture garden observatory!
Shield your allsky sensor from UV rays or keep birds off the dome during the day - many other practical uses may also exist. No change required to the Allsky V3 Dome - simply replace the outer dome ring with this upgrade.
Innovative stepped pinion gear to drive shells both in opening and closure
Designed as a 1:1 replacement of the existing V3 dome fixation ring - the stepper motor is enclosed external to the main housing:
DIY Wiring: You will require to make your own DIY wiring connection into the main dome, with modification to the existing housing to pass 5 wire motor cable.
Water Resistance: Motor enclosure optimised to avoid water ingress - but not waterproof. Long term exposure of 28BYJ-48 stepper motor to external environment to be evaluated.
Scripts: sugguested control scripts posted to my github page here for 360 forward and backward rotation from Pi4/Pi5 GPIO board.
Updates will be posted to this listing as the design evolves.
