Flip_flat_V1

First functional version of my FlipFlat telescope cap.

Fits TS/70-420 telescope and similars

It is based on Arduino Alinitak Flat Device code found on Github (ASAP I'll insert link) plus some code upgrades for switching auto/manual mode:

in auto mode the light source (an EL panel 10x10cm, 5Volts) and the cap are managed by software (works flawless with Voyager, I'll test with NINA and SGP soon).

In manual mode there is a button for switch on/off EL-panel and a button for open/close the cap, using a servo motor (mg995 or similars).

An additional button for an Arduino reset is recommended.

_Additional screws needed for fix the motor and the shaft
_Glue needed for the front and rear cap
_Glue needed for two 5x1mm magnets (one on bottom ring, one on frontal cap) for a
stable closure

Due to overwork in this period I can't promise daily updates or add fine details on this project, pardon me..
