I recently purchased the PDMS Feather Touch focus motor, which you can find at the link ( Posi Drive Motor System for the Feather Touch and Astro Physics focusers )

I also purchased the Pegasus Ultimate Power Box V3 ( Ultimate Powerbox v3 – Pegasus Astro ) to use to control the PDMS.

I was wondering if anyone knows where to download the software, drivers, and firmware to control the motor.

Hi,

I’m also using the PDMS, but you need a separate controller to control it, as it has no build-in controller !

You need the FB-II Focuser Boss II controller with options for WIFI and a second motor if needed.

All software, including ASCOM drivers, firmware and more can also be found here :

Thanks!

For the controller, I don't need the Focus Boss because I have the Pegasus Ultimate V3, which controls all the motors (see the specifications in the link I provided).

Ok. I didn’t know it also controlled your PDMS. Really nice and great benefit a separate controller is not needed. You only need a PEG-CMOT-HSM cable I see and the Unity software offers everything you need including the ASCOM drivers.
