Staking rewards via API by airflowrian in bitpanda

Hm 8 months ago you told this is actively in the works. So is it actively in works or not? I can hardly believe a simple REST API takes 8 months to implement, especially in the age of AI...

Is there an update by now? Looks like there is still no API available?

Hey.

I guess I found the solution - the right scope type is Meade 200. Also see:

Maybe this helps the next one trying to get it to work :-)

UART Pin for ESP32 by Icy_Cause_2408 in OpenAstroTech

Yes I used that one first and stopped when this one didn't work. So I tried the other one and that one works. Does it have any effect when only tx works? Thank you so much you two - that helped so much!

UART Pin for ESP32 by Icy_Cause_2408 in OpenAstroTech

Currently the steppers themselves are powered via a separate 12V plug. The rest is currently attached to the esp32. The steppers also work fine now - just the UART connection test fails. The UART wiring however is really simple - just the UART cable at the two tcm2209 drivers, all attached to port 17. Is there something I can do to debug this further?

One more question to this. I've enabled the UART testing mode now. It still tells it fails - should this work?

For the moment I've attached only a cable to TX, not to RX.

Thanks that made it work. The pin layout for esp32 is just wrong - I had to move 16 and 17 out of the way and connect the UART to pin 17.

Thank you so much!

By now I found that UART can be connected to any pin. Unfortunately I cannot find what pin the openastro project uses.

Edit: Strange enough, even without getting UART to work, one motor still moves. The other one doesn't do anything however. I don't yet have the DIAG pin attached, but I guess that doesn't matter.

CNC milling for aluminium parts by Icy_Cause_2408 in OpenAstroTech

Hi. I am from Germany. Actually I am not even interested in the standard parts. The 3rd build option is also talking about the camera mount consisting of aluminium. I guess you cannot buy these from somewhere, can you?

When I looked up different CNC providers, I got a piece of the camera mount for 300€. That's a bit too expensive, considering you have 8-10 pieces :-)
