Abstract

This article aims to propose an electronic system implementation for the telescope dome, located
at the Luiz Cruls Observatory. The scheme uses Arduino board with analog and digital resources
that communicate over long distances. For such action, it is necessary to employ both unification
system and online controler sofwares. This arrangement improves the remote control and increases
the accuracy of the measured astronomical data.
