Hi everyone. My friend met a serious problem and asked me to solve it. He bought FTF3545 Focuser some days before. He tried to connect to focuser with MaxIm...
Hi All, We have a Meade LX-200 GPS telescope (firmware 4.2g) connected to Starynight Pro 3.1.2 using the latest ASCOM platform and the latest Meade GPS driver....
Have you contacted Starlight Instruments (the maker of FeatherTouch)? It might be useful to ask them about using their focuser with MaxIm DL. The serial trace ...
Joe -- I'm a bit surprised at the deafening silence on your proposal. As usual, your clear thinking shows!!!!! It makes complete sense. ... You have my vote! ...
... If you can, tell it to not enquire for location so frequently. The Meade firmware gives bad results if asked more than two or three times per second (and...
I will ask what may be the obvious. Did he install the ASCOM FeatherTouch driver from the Starlight Instruments website? I have the same focuser and have no...
Hi all! After a solid 10 days worth of poor weather, it's finally looking good for tonight! During the weather break I did manage to do a lot of tweaking on my...
I'm not sure what this has to do with ASCOM...? ... looking good for tonight! During the weather break I did manage to do a lot of tweaking on my scope,...
I controll everything from the World Wide Telescope with ASCOM from inside my house, but by all means, delete my e mail if it is a waste of your time! To:...
Bob, I've checked the site, and the only plug-Ins I can find are for: SkyMap Pro ASCOM Plug-In, TheSky™ ASCOM Telescope (TeleAPI) Plug-In, AutomaDome™...
Bob, I sure know how to kill a discussion.But, thanks for your support. I guess the polls show a vote of 2-0 on the raw data description issue with 98% of the...
Hi Joe, I like the short description :) May I suggest that the enumeration is required and the color descriptors is voluntary? I intend to write a camera...
It seems to me that supporting both enumerations and descriptors is more complex than necessary. Functionally, descriptors can operate as enumerations. That...
Hi Joe, ... my ... format of ... I'm concerned that going with your suggestion just avoids the issue that we can't agree; introducing redundancy doesn't seem...
There is a newer version on the Starlight Instruments website and should be used in lieu of the one on the ASCOM site. Larry ... have ... Setup.exe> ... file ...
For what it's worth Joe you have my 'vote'. Robin ... From: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe Shuster Sent: 02...
I've been lying low for a bit on this. I'm not sure I can claim authorship for the matrix idea, but no matter. I certainly think it is better because it...
I have had simular problems with StarryNight 6 Pro Plus. I could not find the setting for the refresh interval. Do you know where the setting is? Thanks,...
First, thanks to all for the renewed discussion. I was going to let the discussion feed itself, but since it's my proposal before the committee, I feel the...
Chris, Your comment is just about the mirror image of Sander's. He suggested making the patternmap optional and you feel that the enumeration should be ...
Peter, First, I'm sorry I didn't credit you with the original suggestion. Chris and I have been looking for the parent of the matrix/map style so thanks for ...
Thanks Robin, It's clear that my rigorous discussion (courtesy of training and osmosis from my days at World Book Encyclopedia) droned on too much. I clearly ...
Chris, I commented on the other comments so it would be rude to ignore yours. Generally, you and I have been in agreement that the application developers are...
Well, my softball game tonight got rained out so for fun I fiddled with some code. I would have put "(LONG)" at the top, but I've learned my lesson. This is in...
Hi Joe, I agree that we have to go with what the driver authors will support and we are better off doing thin drivers than none. I think that whever we do must...
Hello all, We've recently built a 10" Dob that is operated via an HC12 microcontroller. We initially began programming our own "planetarium" software to...
When you installed the ASCOM platform did you select the option for developer information? If you did, take a look in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common...
Trevics, you didn't really describe what your microcontroller does. The ASCOM specification only details how to instruct a telescope how to do certain things...
