Hi all, I'm currently writing a driver for a custom-made filter wheel using: * MS Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition * ASCOM platform 2008 (5.0) Filter Wheel...
... Did it stop working in mid-operation? If so, it sounds like a flakey cable or other physical connection issue. Or did it "stop working" from one "working"...
Chris Right now I am not so concerned about if the scope position is reported correctly, I can only get the scope to respond once to a slew command, then it...
Bill, I'm trying to fix this for everyone, not just you. There is no command to do a slew in the log that you sent. If you don't send the command you can't...
Chris I don't understand the hostility, I am trying to provide you with everything you ask as much as I can. I will try and capture a slew for you. I am sorry...
I had almost the same. Also I wrote a driver for a filterwheel (True Technology SupaSlim ss3). Since my background was the same as yours (Java and C) I choose...
Ge, I am most interested to read that you have written an ASCOM Driver for the TruTech SupaSlim Filter Wheel. I have such a filter wheel and would like to be...
Here's a suggestion to help you debug your driver. It looks like the error is happening when Conform tries to access the Connected property. So first, set a...
Tim -- Thanks for explaining how to debug a driver when it's being used by a client application (in this case Conform). I'll see about adding some .NET...
Hi Dave, Sure I want to share this driver with others but at the moment it's only suitable for a wheel with 8 positions. This is hardcoded at the moment. I...
Chris Please find attached logs. Not sure what a slew looks like in the logs. But, these should include one. As I mentioned yesterday, the program loads...

Hi Bill, Yes, the log includes a slew command. It's the wrong command (a 'r' instead of a 'R') and has a reply that's different to what I'd expect. I have two...
Chris Not sure how to provide the requested information indoors, the Ultima 2000 is a beautiful scope but must me aligned to stars for accuracy. It got really...
Hi Bill, I DONT'T need accuracy, just something to know if the scope is reporting about the same position on the HC as the control applications sees. And if...
