Telescope Cover with Flatbox

The telescope cover is for use with a 8" Newton or RASA telescope.
Covers in other sizes can be adapted.

Size up to 10" incl. lightbox was tested, yet 10" version is already very heavy due to the acrylic plates of the lightbox.

Printing the cover requires a 3D-printer with at least 300x300 of bedspace, otherwise the design has to be adapted.

Control of the cover and the lightbox is done via ASCOM utilizing the software and drivers by jlecomte:

Perform the soldering according to his instructions as well.

To get the 270° motion I needed to use a 300° servo. I tried a 270° servo, but it would not achieve a full rotation. Adjustments to the Arduino code for opening an closing may be required.

Required hardware:
2x Seeduino XIAO
1x Servo 300° (https://tinyurl.com/35fev5ph)
11x M3 threaded inserts: (https://tinyurl.com/2fjhxz5j)
