Hi folks, I've got a problem that I'm not able to get past here... I've recently acquired an AP600E GTO CP2 (D series chip) and can't get it to link. I can...
Bob, Having exactly the same setup and the same ASCOM installation I encountered no problems with pempro except that it seems that pempro gives reversed...
Thanks, Hansjoerg! I did get everything to work (finally) after a number of uninstall/reinstalls and some "luck"... Just as I was about to give up, it...
Laurie - your latest driver works brilliantly - particularly the start and stop tracking now that I am driving it all through ASCOM! Well done, Matthew PS ...
Mathew, Thats good to hear. I'm not aware the custom command option in PemPro, I had simply worked out what Ray was trying to get the driver to do. My plan is...
I am trying to install ASCOM 5.0A on my laptop, but the error messagage "Can not write to ASCOM.DriverAccess.dll", and then gives an error message number 2350....
Unlikely - because lots of people have already installed it successfully. Error 2350 may suggest that you have an outdated version of Windows Installer or that...
Laurie, I tried this out with several elevations - all correctly sent to PEMPro - mark this as a clear success. Too I see the EPROM versions are now clearly...
Bob, I have anew version ready at http://tinyurl.com/58oso7 that you can copy over to the ascom downloads. Its version 5.1.4 and includes changes to Sidereal...
I have an Celestron 6SE goto scope. The software I am using is the starry night pro6.2 Version. I have installed the USB convertor to serial port for the same....
... The current Celestron driver does support the 6SE; all the recent Celestron scopes are very similar and the driver can cope with any, even if you select a...
Hi Bob, I just put in a new observatory HP computer and have XP SP2 and installed all the latest ASCOM 5.0 and Meade Ascom Drivers (GPS) and I'm getting...
Rex I sent you the info off line to your email Hope it solves the problem Bob ... and ... API. ... to ... being ... 5.0 ... driver ... to ... done ... no ... ...
Hi all I recently looked at the ascom downloads site to look for a driver for my RCX400. I have previously downloaded the MeadeRCXSetupV421RC2.exe and...
Lawrence -- One thing that probably wouldn't hurt is to contact Meade and ask. If they don't hear from the customers, they won't know it's important. The ...
Hi Bob, Sorry if this arrives 3 times as my laptop keeps sending messages before I'm done. Thanks for the info. I followed the directions, but still can't...
Hi Bob Contact Meade? Pardon? Meade has totally ignored my queries ever since I bought my first Meade scope in 1992! I tried the 'engineer' address but...
Next time you consider buying astronomy equipment bear that in mind... Support is a very important part of astro (and all kind of) equipment... As you are...
... To kind of echo Bob (but with a little more positive spin), the LX200GPS driver will work very well with the RCX400. The only features it will not provide...
Hi -- Good info. Set ACP to "slow" update rate, that's once every 5 seconds. I need to say that this sort of device limitation absolutely should be handled by...
One more thought. I have been using the LX200GPS driver for over a year and have good results (it does warn me that my Meade software is not the latest version...
Hi All, I'm working on a new version of my digital setting circles ASCOM driver. My digital setting circles system (digicircles.eksfiles.net) simply provides...
Hi Dave- The current logic regarding slews when tracking is off make pretty good sense. The "harm" in allowing a slew to a RA/dec target when tracking is off...
Chris, Thanks for the reply. What is the ill-defined condition? Is it that, if tracking is off, a motorized mount may think it never reaches its target? Dave ...
Exactly. From a purely mathematical standpoint, it's a problem slewing to a RA/dec target if you aren't tracking. You're trying to move between two reference...
... I think it's more a case of: OK, it got there, but -when-? Since any time elapsed since the arrival at the RA/DEC means it's no longer -at- that RA/DEC. ...
Chris, I guess I can understand how that might be a confounding issue from a theoretical standpoint, but I've never found it to be a practical limiting factor....
