controls all types of motors (VSI, Feather Touch, Robofocus, Moonlite, Lakeside …)
fully compatible with previous models
It allows controlling two devices simultaneously:
- - - focuser
    - rotator
    - filter wheel (with stepper motors, not USB wheels)
    - other device
Simultaneous control of two focus motors, (the Lunático ones or another, such as Robofocus, Moonlite or FeatherTouch ones, and almost any other that is “stepper“),
Simultaneous control of two filter wheels,
… or a rotator and a wheel …
Telescope fans control
With our free program “PinByPin“: independent control of any controller pin, manual or automated (depending on temperature delta), useful not only for fan control but also for dew heater bands, as ones of the ZeroDew system.
Rotators control, like the VSI’s “Zerotator”, or the Astrodon “TAKometer”
With “Seletek à la carte” you can customize your Seletek to match your specific needs, you decide the peripherals you want to control (contact us at info@lunatico.es):
- - - dew heating bands (from our ZeroDew system or others)
    - even a dew heater controller (using a relay)
    - the astronomy green laser pointer
    - the mirror cooling fans
    - any 12V powered device, using a relay
And you can send us your suggestions for new applications, contact us at info@lunatico.es.

Why is an external controller like the Armadillo, Platypus, Tarsier or Limpet better than an “all in one” (focuser with embedded motor and cables)?

	The focuser, rotator, and filter wheel software are ASCOM compliant.
	And Linux / INDIlib driver for the focuser!
	And, also INDIGO driver for the focuser!
