Hello;I recently bought a MotoTrak V on Astromart and all seemed well. The power LED came on when it was plugged in. When I hooked it up to my telescope (an old Meade DS 16) however, the MotoTrak barely turned the Dec motor and then died. All subsequent attempts to power it up have failed. I realize I was unsure of the amperage needed so I initially used a 12v 1 amp transformer (too weak for the RA motor, probably). Not being set up to run any diagnostics on the unit, I am looking for advice and real help. This unit was not cheap! I would like to know :
-what did I do wrong?
-is the unit fixable or permanently fried?
-what amperage do I need to run the RA motor of a DS 16?
-does anybody know anything about the MotoTrak after all these years?
I appreciate any and all replies.
Best wishes and in need of real help,
Michael Hamburg
