I'm sure Ajai would love to give away all his hard work to a manufacturer that doesn't support him! I know I wouldn't. In contrast to Meade, I've just been...
I have the same problem as you do... I made a filter wheel and a focuser but I can't make it work although I made a small VB6 application which operates both...
Hi, I just recently finished a device that runs fine under ASCOM. ASCOM provides an interface specification but it is still up to you to implement the code ...
Hi Faan, Basically, I know how to send command to the device (I'm using VB .NET) and everything is working perfectly. I think my problem is that I'm so clear...
I know that. I can work perfectly with my filter wheel with my VB6 application… I just don’t know what to do when it comes to interfacing the “ASCOM”...
Hi Mathew, I've not heard of problems with guiding using GuideDog and the Celestron driver before, but you are possibly the first person in the Southern ...
Brian, I'll send you a project file and some notes off-line. Faan ... From: briantk_1988 To: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 2:44 PM ...
Hi Mathew, Do you mean that you now know what it is but still have the problem or have you found a USB Serial port converter that solves it? The current...
have a robotic 14" LX200GPS in a dome here at the observatory in Wales. It is a prototype system for others, one that will be on the equator, hence on an...
I got a call from Meade today and the recall of my telescope was an administrative error. They are making it mine permanently to support the development of...
... that the job isn't finished, to ask for the loaned RCX back is petty. Is there not a way that those who use the Ascom driver can indiacte via e mail to...
Jay, where in Wales are you located? Perhaps I could swing by and take a look. Best regards, Tim Long Owner & Technology Consultant TiGra Networks The Small...
Excellent news Ajai. It is good to think that the ASCOM community can have an effect of equipment vendors. The lesson is clear. Manufacturers will act if...
We're just outside Knighton, about halfway between Shrewsbury and Hereford. We are only just in Wales - 800 metres! You would be most welcome! Jay ... From:...
Hi, I'm thinking of writing a DLL that will be called by a C++ program and make guiding calls to an ASCOM scope. VB doesn't seem to do traditional DLLs at all...
To kill this thread, it's the telescope! Tried the complete system today with another LX200, and everything checked out fine. telescope now awaiting courier...
I've just noticed that the newer incarnations of the Gemini driver seem to have a different GUID on every machine that I have installed them. Can you tell me...
Hello, Some applications such as MaximDL is sending a ASCOM Pulseguide command with a Duration of 0. This was never mentioned in the Telescope Pulseguide...
There's no reason why the GUID shouldn't change (all ASCOM drivers are late-bound so the GUID is irrelevant to ASCOM applications, which care only about the...
Tim That's true if the client and the COM object are on the same box, but if you separate them the client tries to use the locally looked up GUID (ProgID) for ...
... The Celestron driver sends the track command, sleeps for a duration of zero and then restores the sidereal rate. The Sleep(0) command relinquishes control...
Even better than a better implementation would be to state in the specification exactly what the valid range of values are and what (if anything) should happen...
Well then that's a whole different question. Note that a COM GUID represents an interface contract, so if the driver's interface has changed there would be no...
Yes you are right. I got confused with the specs definition. Currently i see Pulseguide of Duration 0 would take either of the two definitions; 1: Abort...
