Using a raspberry Pi Zero, Stepper motor and a bit of questionable python code made a remote for Celestron Scope to control the scope and zoom without touching the scope. Also printed a case for a Pi Powerpack to power USB & Stepper motor.

Print instructions

You will need:

Raspberry Pi Zero W
28BYJ-48 5V Stepper Motor + driver
20x 6mm BB gun pellets (ball bearings)

Optional: Pi Power pack

Install Raspbian, minimum install + python and hostapd (for wifi access point). Unfortunately my computer has crashed so I don't have the Python files for this. It was a simple Flask application with a two sets of buttons, one set for course adjustment and one for fine adjustment.
