Your best bet may be the "ASCOM Dome Control Panel" or "POTH" - both of which are included with ASCOM. Both components are "hubs" meaning that they control...
It's a simple as it sounds. COM5. Assuming your scope is connected to the USB-To-Serial adapter. It works just like a regular COM port. --Tim ... From:...
I wrote that driver many years ago, based on info I got from Software Bisque. Later, there were rumors that the TelescopeAPI in TheSky had been expanded but...
You didn't mention the make & model of the serial device but some are known to be better than others. You might have a faulty device, it might be misconfigured...
We tried a few things to fix this error but the final trick to fix it was a uninstall followed by a re-install of the ASCOM Platform 5a. Bill F. ... From:...

Ok, I can take no for an answer :-) What I was think is something along the lines of Open, Close, Read, Write. The HID interface is a simple interface to...
