Feather Touch Motorization
      03/23/08 03:21 PM

I have received my Feather Touch, and i'm now looking to Motorize it for AP usage.

I see that JMI has a nice option that allows manual use without removing the motor.

Option 1


This connects it to the PC.

Moto PC control


The other option is from Feather Touch, but you seem to lose manual use of the FT. This has a stepper with encoder feedback.

Option 2

Is this system needed or would the JMI solution be good enough for auto focusing. I'm very confused about the various software used, and compatible equipment.

Is there a better option for the FT? I know a bunch of you experts are using the FT for AP.
