Pegasus Astro External Motor Controller
Price as Configured: $168.00
The Pegasus Astro External Motor Controller is a great expansion accessory for the “Ultimate Powerbox v2” and the Pocket Powerbox Advance. The external motor controller is designed to expand the focus capabilities of the "Ultimate Powerbox v2” (supports a 2nd focus controller) and adds focus functionality to the “Pocket Powerbox Advance." The device does not require a USB cable and can be attached directly to the EXT port of the Powerboxes. It can drive a large bipolar or unipolar stepper motor (up to 2Amps per coil) with high precision.

Microstepping
The External Motor Controller supports micro-stepping for a smooth rotation and extra precision. With software, configure it to Full, Half, 1/4 step and 1/8 step.
No USB Port Required
The External Motor Controller does not require USB connectivity and so it does not need to take up a USB port. Simply plug the RJ12 port into the UPBv2 or PPBA's EXT port and the powerbox software will recognize the controller.
Second EXT Port Available
A second EXT port allows you to daisy chain future equipment or connect your environmental sensor.
Protections
The controller is fully protected against undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature events.
