RB Focus SmartBox Gaius Cube

• Your entire observatory, in one Cube. The Gaius Cube combines a computer with the power distribution and control system a modern observatory needs, all in a compact housing that fits neatly on your telescope.
• Real computing power on board. Every unit ships with an Intel N150 processor and 12 GB of LPDDR5 memory, running Windows 11 Pro. Imaging, guiding, automation, and observatory control software run directly on the Cube, so you don’t need a separate mini PC.
• Seven USB ports for your whole setup. Connect cameras, focusers, mounts, and other accessories from one hub, so your cable runs stay short and tidy.
• Seven power outputs, centrally managed. Distribute power to your equipment through outputs rated up to 14.5 V and 10 A, with each channel switchable from one place.
• Two PWM channels for dew control. Precisely control two dew heaters or compatible fans, keeping your optics clear on damp nights.
• A control center that makes sense. Gaius Control Center puts every power channel on a single dashboard. Switch outputs on or off, rename them, adjust both PWM channels, and check system status at a glance.
• Real-time monitoring and history. Track input voltage, total current and power, CPU and ambient temperatures, relative humidity, dew point, and service status as they change. Historical graphs let you review key readings throughout the night.
• Diagnostics you can use. Check the controller, background service, and Alpaca listener, review recorded data, and export session information for deeper analysis when something needs a closer look.
• Built for automated imaging. Gaius Control Center connects the power unit through ASCOM Alpaca, making its outputs and PWM channels available to NINA and other compatible applications.
• One control point for every session. Manage local operation, remote sessions, and automated imaging sequences from the same system.
• Compact and light. At 72 × 72 × 58 mm and 200 g, the Cube adds very little weight to your telescope and takes up minimal space in your observatory.
