jlecomte / ascom-flat-panel Goto Github PK

Thank you so much for making this project public. I purchased everything to build this project and I sat down to print out the housing using the free cad file you provided. However, when resizing the unit to fit my esprit 120 using the global settings (OTA Outside diameter 175mm, and OTA thickness 7mm) I get an error on Pad009 Sketch018. Recompute Failed. I am not a Free CAD user I use OnShape for all my projects so I have no clue how to correct it or even how to drill down to look at the error. Is there another parameter I need to change in Globals? Thanks again

The LED that represent the LED strip in the Fritzing schematic appears to be reverse-biased. If connected that way, no light would come out.

ASCOM requires the CalibratorStatus to have one of 6 states: https://ascom-standards.org/Help/Developer/html/T_ASCOM_DeviceInterface_CalibratorStatus.htm

You set it to ready all the time, even if it is off. This should at least change between 1 and 3.

I'll try to implement a fix and open a PR tomorrow, should be relatively easy.

I'm pretty new to github and using FreeCAD, however, to the best of my knowledge, changing the Globals in 0.20.2 (specifically, the:

1. "OTA Outside Diameter", and
2. "OTA Thickness",

Appears to lead to an error in creating the Flat_Panel_Back Chamfer, meaning that the overall fillet is not an appropriate size.

If this is a skill issue (i.e. - given the age of the project and the progression of software updates, it's working as intended and it's my job to go and fix it up when I make changes) I will close!

Otherwise very keen to make one of these!
