Are the applications that are communicating using an ASCOM driver? I suspect not. If so then try some other application that uses ASCOM, such as the free ...
Thanks, Chris. I shall reconfigure to ensure updates. If the mount can't cope with that (the on-board electronics are 'unsophisticated') then I think the...
You do not need to continually monitor the mount operations and make sure all the mount position changes get transmitted back. Instead, when you are done with...
The laptop has no serial port, so I can't test direct. And you're right, the apps that work don't run through ASCOM drivers. I wasn't so much looking for a...

Hi Rod, I would stay away from the RCX400 driver if I were you. If you pick the wrong COM port or there is a communication error, the driver will take two or...
I am writing an ASCOM focuser client using the XYDispDriver from CodeProject for COM operations (VC++). It appears that the ASCOM Helper app is only...
Thanks to Laurie Yates, a new version (5.1.6b) of the Vixen SkySensor 2000 <http://www.company7.com/vixen/mounts/drives.html#SkySensor2k> driver is now online...
Why not defining a class inherited from ICamera? That way all methods and properties of the parent class are readily available, plus the ones defined in the...
Hi Tim, Thanks for the hint about C# Extension Methods. Can you short-circuit my blundering around and point me in the direction of some reasonable EM ...
Remember that your driver has to be usable from /any/ language on Windows. Thus it must be usable from the Windows Objects, or COM, system, not just native...
I have put an updater for the Rotator Simulator (1.0.2) into the Platform Updates section of the ASCOM site. It corrects the build so that it will run on...
Only if the driver is intended to be ASCOM compliant - and it isn't going to be. It's a personal self-educational highly experimental heap of junk that ...
Greetings all, While trying to clean up possible registry problems, I attempted to uninstall ASCOM V5.0a. During the uninstall process, I got repeated messages...
Hi Bob, I'm sorry I didn't see your post until just now. Too many irons in the fire, I'm told! I appreciate your detailed explanation of what the problems are...
Hi Craig, Any implementation advice to share? I'm struggling a bit with this but think I'll have it cracked in the next couple of days or so (or decades!!!). ...
Bob, I know you wanted someone else to test this, but since you didn't get any takers... I installed a fresh Vista64 system and installed ASCOM v5a then the ...
The QSI ICamera driver implementation is in C++. We implement a number of interfaces for the driver using dual interfaces. First we implement the ICamera and...
Thanks for the hints Dave. What does the ASCOM group think about publishing some modified VB, VC and VS templates to light the way for others wishing to go...
Right. Extension methods are great when your extensions apply equally well to any instance of the class you are extending. So if you do use this technique,...
I wouldn't necessarily say it is _unusual_ for devices to generate spontaneous, unsolicited output, but most drivers are written that way. All of the Technical...
You've misunderstood the concept of extension methods. It doesn't have to be supported by COM, the extension methods are only in scope in the application that...
Hi Tim- I was specifically addressing mounts. I'm not aware of any that just spew out their coordinates without being asked, but that's not to say there might ...
Interface inheritance is certainly possible but in practice I think it works out better to just publish separate interfaces. It is a bit more obvious what is...
That's all true. The mounts I've seen - the AWR system that I am working on is a good example - generates status messages whenever it feels like it. These can...
... Exactly. And I'd call it the "/standard /ASCOM interface" as opposed to "raw". But let's take this a step further: What if we have 100 /different...
