Doug,
Will FCUSB work with my Meade 1209 focuser and also be compatible at the same time with GPUSB (which I am currently using) if I use a powered USB hub? If the FCUSB may require up to 12v I dont want it to impact the guding via GPUSB not to mention other things I may be using on the USB hub.
Thanks
Bruce

Re: Meade 1209 and GPUSB compatability
The GPUSB and the FCUSB both run off of the 5 Volts that comes from the USB port. The FCUSB can drive the Meade 1209, but it will not have as much torque and speed since there is only 5 Volts available to run the motor, but the motor is designed for 12 Volts.
