The EAGLE (starting with the second generation) has 3 0-12V, adjustable voltage power supply ports where you can connect your dew heaters without the need of an external controller. Using the EAGLE Manager software you can activate these ports and manually adjust the voltage to activate the relative dew heater. ECCO2 instead, thanks to the integration of appropriate temperature, humidity and pressure sensors, adds to the EAGLE dew heater power automatic control: by monitoring in real time the temperature of the optics of your instruments (through the appropriate probes, a maximum of 3 probes are supported), air temperature and humidity (via the sensors included in ECCO2 body), ECCO2 calculates the dew point and then automatically adjusts the power of your dew heaters to prevent any dewing!

ECCO2 adds the automatic power control of dew heaters to EAGLE4, EAGLE LE, EAGLE3 and EAGLE2 (in order to work with EAGLE2 it requires update of OS and EAGLE Manager), but thanks to the provided ASCOM drivers, it can also be used as external environmental monitor with any standard computer with Windows 10/11 operative system.

ECCO2, environmental computerized controller for EAGLE - main features:

- Computerized controller to be installed on your telescope
- Plug&Play: just connect to the EAGLE and it works!
- USB Type C port with reversible plug: safe and reliable
- It adds automatic power control to dew heaters connected to the dew ports of the EAGLE
- Temperature, humidity and pressure sensors to automatically calculate dew point
- 3x ports for temperature probes
- DARK mode to disable the LED light
- SMART control of temperature probes to automatically detect uncalibrated or wrongly connected temperature probes
- ASCOM driver to control ECCO2 from external softwares or even standard Windows 10/11 computers
- It supports compact guide scopes when used with “Guide scope support for ECCO”
- Weight: 75 gr.

ECCO2, the Plug&Play environmental controller.

We decided to call it ECCO not only because it is the “Environmental Computerized COntroller” but because it is also very easy to use (in Italian, ECCO means "There you go"). In fact, just connect the temperature sensors (to be fixed near the optics of your telescope) and the USB cable to one of the EAGLE USB ports (ECCO2 is compatible with EAGLE4, EAGLE LE, EAGLE3 and EAGLE2 - in order to work with EAGLE2 it requires update of OS and EAGLE Manager), and press ECCO button in the EAGLE Manager. You can see in real time the dew point calculation, the temperature detected by the temperature probes you have installed and the variation of the power supplied by the EAGLE to the dew heaters. ECCO2 does not require external power supply and it comes with a sturdy USB-C port providing increased reliability with its reversible plug - You can connect the USB cable in either orientation, preventing problems when connecting the ECCO in the dark.
