The DarkLight Cover/Calibrator (DLC) is a versatile DIY solution using an Arduino Nano or compatible microcontroller. The latest iteration of the DLC features a modular design that offers options to exclusively drive a 12V light panel, no servo required, ideal for a wall-mounted setup, or a servo with no light panel, ideal for taking sky flats. This means you can build a device to operate a servo motor, a light panel, or both, serving as both a dust cover for remote telescope users and/or a calibration panel. The DLC offers both an ASCOM and INDI driver, ensuring seamless operation via the DLC Windows application, any automation software compatible with the ICoverCalibrator driver in ASCOM v6.5 or newer, or the INDI platform.
