Astrokit nécessite une carte RaspberryPi2 / Pi3, une télécommande infrarouge, et une partie électronique.
ASTROKIT is a universal and generic azimuthal / equatorial mounting control system capable of
- ensure the micro-step mode on the stepper motors thus reducing the vibrations
- to control the motorization of its telescope, for example a Dobson, in azimuthal mode,
- transform its motorized equatorial mount into a motorized azimuthal mount
- to control the motorization of its equatorial mount, maintaining the equatorial mode

Astrokit requires a RaspberryPi2 / Pi3 card, an infrared remote control, and an electronic part.
The electronics is simple and can be easily realized or outsourced.
It can also be realized by following the wiring diagram with "ready" modules on the internet.
