I’m hoping that I can get some help from some of you who are using N.I.N.A. to control your ROR’s.

 I’m in the final stages of automating my roll off roof observatory. I’m using a gate motor and Arduino to facilitate this. I’ve been using the method suggest in the You Tube video produced by Astrobloke and I’ve run into a problem.

in the “Dome” section of N.I.N.A. when I select Open, the roof opens and stays open. When I select Close it closes, pauses for a few seconds and then opens again and indicates an error. In both cases, the roof stops where it’s supposed to so that’s a good thing.

Could the problem involve the wiring of the door/window magnets? I don’t see how as it’s just a simple on/off circuit. However, the device does say by the contacts, “always on/always off. I don’t have a clue as to what that means.

Unfortunately, remote troubleshooting is even more difficult than remote astrophotography. Without seeing the hardware, all we can do is give you ideas where to check. Software troubleshooting is somewhat easier, if you provide (a link to) the code.

cheers,
