Part is not all. All the people before - and since - who have said that ASCOM is poorly documented, worked through it, and done nothing are also part of the...
Chris, I really hope your excellent suggestions of what can be done to disseminate the use of ASCOM come to happen. Much is needed. I did give the impression...
The standard way that software libraries and documentation are developed collectively is to use a revision control system that's network accessible. Thousands...
Good evening, I have just joined the list on the recommendation from Greg @Skytools and whose software I have used for a number of years. I currently have a...
Usually, the most significant component of pointing errors is non-orthogonal axes. There is an iterative procedure for adjusting that, although I don't have a...
Thank you Chris. I will check out Max Point. Best Regards, Doug _____ From: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris...
Doc G asks a very valid question: "why do I want to struggle with ASCOM?" If you are writing your own one-off turnkey application to solve your unique...
Mr. Greiner. ... The ASCOM documentation and examples are fine for competent developers who are prepared to work with it. It may not be sufficient for those...
I think you get to the heart of my issue with ASCOM perfectly. I am not selling anything. I am a hobbyist who likes to make special stuff that works for...
Dear Mr. Rowland, I am sorry to have offended you. I totally and publicly agree to not using anything you have sent me for any reason whatever. Regards...
Hmm, the Gemini controller performs mount modelling internally (given enough reference points) and non-orthogonality is certainly one of the parameters it...
Ah. Maybe Doug simply isn't taking advantage of all the controller features and the pointing model simply hasn't been built. Those terms should be more than...
Great Point! Time to get the manual out and re-read. Since I have my Vixen 200L on the mount I continue to do additional aligns after I synchronize on the...
HI, I am playing with a LXD-75 and understand that it is not setup to turn off tracking under the ASCOM Driver. I was wondering if there were a work around to...
... Doc G, There's a lot of auto-generated "boiler plate" that Microsoft's tools put in the project. You can ignore that stuff completely. It needs to be...
Hello, Can anyone here help me with a solution to this error. I have Windows XP / SP2 and ASCOM 4.1 was successfully installed, or so it said, but on running...
Hi there, first of all I'd like to appologize for any dumb questions since I'm not even a begginer as a programmer or whatever is near this field. Nevertheless...
Hi Doug, Thanks much for the encouragement and the help. I have been communicating with a few friends about some help on using ASCOM. I really appreciate...
Hi Canela, There is the information on the ASCOM site, the driver specification and the various examples that are part of the ASCOM installation. I have just...
Hi all, I'm looking to implement a routine which would automatize flatfields acquisition. The problem is to find the right coordinates where to point the ...
Hey guys -- I have been conspicuously absent from this group for about 8 weeks, necessarily. I've been hunkered-down doing a major release of my software that...
Thanks for this note Bob. You know that I have always admired your skills and have supported you on ASCOM from the very beginning. I supported you because I...
... Oh, boy.. new toys! (4 more weeks? Telescope software? Needs a catchy title: You could call it "Vista"!) ... You didn't quote the easiest, perhaps the far...
Bob, One reason one would want to use C++ (other than the hammer explanation *grin*) is because languages like C# and VB6, are Microsoft-only and are a...
" Edit the project properties so the Project Name and Project Description strings are appropriate." Can you be a bit more specific on this ? (if possible) ...
Chris, thanks for replying. I still haven't hard any more replys from anyone and I'm starting to wonder if my approach to this is correct... maybe the people...
Hi Jose, You have found the file I see. It's the one I linked to, called "Ascom Developers Information.htm". Set the project name to something that makes sense...
Chris, I had to reinstall the ASCOM plattform since I hadn't installed the developer compenents before. The new driver has been created. Thank you. Now I'll...
John -- I see your point... So one way to deal with this would be to write the device handling core in C++, being able to take it across platforms, then wrap...
