What is JapyScope?
JapyScope Remote is a custom, Raspberry Pi Zero W-based hand controller for GoTo telescope mounts — not limited to Dobsonian telescopes. It connects directly to the mount’s RJ12 hand-control port and currently uses INDI’s Sky-Watcher Alt-Az driver.
What you get
- An e-paper controller interface with keypad and side wheel.
- A companion Web UI on your local network.
- Wi-Fi onboarding via a temporary JapyScope setup network.
- A browser-based mockup while the physical hardware is still being validated.
The project is under active development. The installer and software are real; the final e-paper panel and mount validation remain open hardware work.
