ELL14 Rotational Mount Controller (MATLAB)

This repository provides a MATLAB class for controlling the ELL14 rotational mount via a serial port connection. The ell14 class simplifies interaction with the mount, enabling you to rotate it, home it, change step precision, and assign device addresses.

🔌 Requirements

• ELL14 rotational mount connected via USB/serial
• Correct COM port (check Device Manager under "Ports (COM & LPT)")
• MATLAB R2019b or later

📁 Class: ell14.m

Initialization

port = 'COM3';              % Replace with actual COM port
mount = ell14(port);        % Instantiate the controller

Main Methods

Method	Description
setaddress(curr, new)	Set/change the device address
rotate_foward()	Rotate mount forward
rotate_Backward()	Rotate mount backward
Home()	Send the mount to home position
change_step(degree)	Change step size in degrees (e.g., 0.5°)

💡 Example Usage

mount = ell14('COM3');          % Connect to the device
mount.setaddress(1, 2);         % Set address from 1 to 2
mount.rotate_foward();          % Rotate forward
mount.rotate_Backward();        % Rotate backward
mount.change_step(0.5);         % Set step size to 0.5 degrees
