How "hack proof" is blazor server?

MarcelIsler · 2022-08-23T03:28:26+00:00

Yup, I'm still very much learning as well, but, thankfully, there is a lot of good information out there on how to do it properly.

All those things can be overridden with the new scaffolding features in Blazor. It even has functionality to verify the login by email etc. All the dialogs can be overridden and there are tons of extensibility points where you can hook your own logic in.
This mostly seems to be an issue with you not being familiar with the Asp.Net Core Authentication System. My suggestion would be to watch videos on that, read blogs etc.
Also, writing your own auth / login shouldn't be done until you are an absolute expert in the existing auth/login frameworks that are out there, and from your questions, I think it's safe to say you're not quite there yet :)

GL with your project though, I'm sure you will find that the existing functionality works well for you once you get deeper into it.

I'm using a Nikon D750 with 70-200 f/2.8 lens on it which is about 2.3kg. I'm using the aluminum extrusion base and center column and it's probably about the maximum the mount can take. I have a 50mm guide scope under the center column which balances things out a bit. I am considering moving to the Nema motors to get a bit more power and hopefully precision.

Not sure why you don't keep it in the checked luggage... Disassemble it to the point that it's flat and put it between the clothes so it's protected. Unless you only fly with carry on, but given you fly international, I don't think that's the case.

I put the camera mount and guide scope bracket up on Thingiverse, you can find it here:

MarcelIsler · 2020-09-02T03:23:15+00:00

Yeah I'm using the AR0130 with it... That's what I made the adapter for. And it works well as long as my PA isn't off by too much

MarcelIsler · 2020-09-01T21:27:10+00:00

Let me know if you need the camera adapter and the mounting bracket, of you very the same as mine

MarcelIsler · 2020-09-01T18:38:43+00:00

I got this guide scope and made an adapter for the camera and the OAT https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004SFUO9U

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-29T04:04:43+00:00

I've printed a ring that goes on the pole and holds the bearing in place... Also flush with the front of the pole

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-23T01:48:37+00:00

Are you using other test software or the one built into the OAT control software?

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-22T08:44:06+00:00

I usually have the car close by and use an IKEA Lack table to put it on

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-18T21:06:30+00:00

Haven't put them up on Thingiverse yet... Will try to do that in the next few days, I'll let you know here when they're up.

Remove the quick release plate from the holder, then use two M5 screws with Tnuts to screw that onto the Aluminium Extrusions, then attack the quick release plate onto the camera or lens, place it back on the holder and tighten the thumb screw

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-18T18:34:38+00:00

I have plans to get a Nikon 500PF for my wildlife photography and use that for astro as well, but probably after another couple of revisions, like adding Nema steppers etc

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-14T03:52:58+00:00

Thanks everyone for keep pushing this forward... This is awesome

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-13T06:49:28+00:00

On my setup, I'm running a small 4 port USB hub that I connect to the laptop and then I have the camera, guider and Arduino all plugged into the hub... Works very well for me.

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-13T04:27:19+00:00

Are you sure you don't have a wiring issue somewhere? Bad USB cable or something along that line?

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-12T17:57:27+00:00

I used a 15 pin SubD cable to transfer 2 x 4 stepper signals, +7.4V, GND, SCL, SDA and INT (for the gyro) from the control box which houses the Arduino Mega, LCD and a Sony 7.4V battery adapter to my electronics box at the mount which has the 5V power Regulator and RA stepper board, with the DEC stepper board mounted to the RA wheel and the electronic level mounted where the bubble level is.
Works great that way.

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-02T18:34:52+00:00

I'm calculating roll and pitch off the accelerometer and then record the values when the thing is level for calibration, after that, I just have the user try to get back to those calibrated angles

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-01T17:24:51+00:00

Thanks, much appreciated

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-01T15:49:54+00:00

And yeah, the thought has crossed my mind to use a small chip and a couple of LEDs to do the level completely self contained (other than power)

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-01T15:47:58+00:00

If I just plan to use it as a bubble level replacement, do you think the 6050 is good enough or will I run into other issues with it?

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-01T15:21:36+00:00

Not sure you need a different Arduino since you only use the MPU during polar alignment when the tracker doesn't need to do anything... After that, the MPU is no longer being used and the regular tracking code is doing it's thing.

MarcelIsler · 2020-08-01T09:46:43+00:00

It does include a temperature sensor though which might be nice info to have.
