This is my first post and I need help. I am trying to run Polar Alignmax to save hours of drift Alignmant with a LX200GPS Scope + ST2000XCM + SKY6. I have...
Hi Richard, When you say everything works with simulators, do you mean that FocusMaX is still the hub and that TheSky connects to FocusMax and FocusMax is ...
Hi Robert, If its happening with the scope simulator then it doesn't seem to be associated with the serial port - or any specific ASCOM driver. I doubt that...
I have a computer in the observatory that controlls all the various software for the scope, camera, ASCOMDome, etc. That computer is remotely controlled...
Sounds like you might have multiple open remote desktop connections under different user names. In this case one might have the dome connected and the other...
Hello Jon, First all is fixed and well. In answer to your question, I meant that I had chosed both camera and scope simulators in a dry run inside the house in...
Could you share the nature of the problem between "ASCOM, Sky6 and the Meade programes"? What was the fix? (was it unique to POLEALIGNMAX?) Thanks, Ralph...
Ajai - Thanks for the suggestion. There is only one user on this computer and only one remote desktop connection open. This is the only program that is...
Have you tried shutting down the machine and restarting it and then trying the connection? If you have an orphaned RDS session (this can happen) this will get...
Sounds like the classic FixTheSkyAndFocusMax tool was needed. TheSky needs some DCOM fixup before FocusMax (or any other client) can be connected. Various of...
One thought. One of the features of RDC is to allow local devices (such as disk drives, printers and, critically, serial ports) to appear as if they are...
Just to make things clear - TheSky itself does not need any "fixing". The SB software uses DCOM, though, and thus activates the DCOM security layers for ...
... "it is not possible to make an external call because the program is making an internal synchronous call" This is an error that comes up when a chain of...
If the problem is in fact what Bob describes maybe you can replace the wheel movement which zooms in and out in CdC with the + or - keys which will do exactly...
Ajai, Are you referring to the firmware, hardware, optics or a combination? If firmware, can you give me some specifics without violating your NDA? I've heard...
Hi Thanks for your analysis and tip. It is likely that the touch pad "virtual scroll" (as Synaptics call it) does behave differently in terms of generated...
Hi Rich, The RCX optics are outstanding. The current firmware still has bugs - mostly having to do with response times of commands. These problems also exist...
Hi all, I was shocked to learn that Meade has no interest in supporting development of an Ascom driver for their RCX400 line of telescopes. I suggest that...
Done! Come on everyone, let him have both barrels. Tell Meade that you expect your scope to come with an ASCOM driver that is supported by Meade. Best regards,...
It is no longer posted. I have removed it for now. Sorry. Ajai _____ From: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Hello everyone, I'm making a dome controller. I'm using PIC microprocessor for the device and using Vs .NET to control the device in the way I want. Everything...
The dome simulator was architected to be a template for real HW implementation. I've used it for two different HW sets to date. Take a look at that and give...
Yes, yes!! For too long we all have been guilty of not contacting the folks to whom we paid (directly or indirectly) our money to for scopes, etc. Instead ...
I made the device myself and the problem is that I don't have a clue how to write a driver (using Vb .Net) that is Ascom compliant. Thank you very much...
In LX200gps firmware 4.2g, there's a quirk (is it a bug?). When you're in Polar mode, if you didn't PARK to end the previous session, and/or if RA PEC is OFF,...
Hi Dick, Way good sleuthing. I look forward to the next experiment. BTW. Relative to the last conversation, I've implemented a throttling mechanism so we...
Hi Ajai Do I detect bitterness with Meade here. After all you have done with the RCX ASCOM driver, and it appears that the job isn't finished, to ask for the...
Very interesting, but what does it mean? I own a RCX on a wedge and I don't park it for now. Will this bug affect the accuracy or behavior of tracking,...
