The Seletek is Lunatico's astronomical peripheral controller, available in two versions: ARMADILLO and PLATYPUS.

 

 

  • Automated focuser, for almost any existing focuser. Will also drive Robofocus(tm), Moonlite (tm), Lakeside (tm) and FeatherTouch (tm) motors.
  • Filter wheel control, for any DIY stepper based filter wheel or Atik (tm) Motorized FW.
  • Camera rotator, again for any DIY, stepper based, and also for VSI's Zerotator (tm) and Astrodon's TAKometer (tm)
  • Automated cooling fan control
  • Independent control of any controller pin, manual or automated (depending on temperature delta), useful not only for fan control but also for dew heater bands, powering relays, red laser pointers, etc.
  • Complete observatory control with our Firefly add-on.
  • (any two functions at the same time with the Armadillo, any three at the same time with the Platypus)
  • also includING:

  • a bombproof usb connection
  • ethernet connection and simultaneous connections allowed (only Platypus)
  • easy to perform (drag & drop) firmware upgrades and updates (all of them free of charge)
  • a more accurate temperature sensor, and
  • extra internal isolation for more security

  • We are always willing to develop other utilities from your suggestions, please contact us.
