Pegasus eXternal Motor Controller
An Ultimate Powerbox v2 and Pocket Powerbox Advance expansion accessory.
The external motor controller (XMC) was designed to expand the focus capabilities of the “Ultimate Powerbox v2” (supports a 2nd focus controller) and adds focus functionality to the “Pocket Powerbox Advance“. The device does not require a USB cable and can be attached directly to the EXT port of the Powerboxes. It can drive a large bipolar or unipolar stepper motor (up to 2Amps per coil) with high precision.
Microstepping
Controller support micro-stepping which can be configured via software to Full, Half, 1/4 step and 1/8 step. This provides additional precision and a smooth rotation from the stepper motor.

Second EXT port available
A second EXT port allows you to daisy chain future equipment or connect your environmental sensor.
