I have problem with MaximDLL/CCD and telescope link. My telescope is Meade LX200 10"with 3.20 software. 1. My software were Windows-95, MaximDLL/CCD 3.05,...
By 3.20 software, do you mean the Meade scope firmware? If so, that may be the problem... I'd recommend posting to the MAPUG group, of the LX200 group to see...
Hi, Just to let everyone know (to avoid duplication of work). I have just finished the firmware side for a dual focus controller that I am making open source. ...
... Ok, I'll do that! One question in advance: would it be better to have a whole new class of drivers: "xxx.Image" like "FITS.Image", "SBIG.Image", and so on ...
I would draw attention to a document recently published by Matt Longmire of SBIG (matto@...), entitled "A Set of FITS Standard Extensions for Amateur ...
Matthias -- It would be beneficial if the FITS engine uses the same property names that PinPoint uses for its 41 mapped FITS properties. I have placed online...
Yeah, let's try to get rid of proprietary formats. The fact that the proposed FITS standard was done by Matt L at SBIG indicates that maybe they are coming...
Yes I agree. It serves no useful purpose. I don't think anyone really uses SBIG fortmat these days (not that the format is inferior in any way). Certainly on...
Hi Bob, ... Yes, I had that in my mind, anyway - to make things for clients easier... ... thanks! ... I'll ask if I have questions. First proposal soon... ...
I have posted the firmware for a dual focus motor controller on my web site (http://www3.sympatico.ca/magore/) *Please note that I have a download limit on...
... I have "thrown something together" :) - it's an Excel file at http://www.easysky.de/ASCOM/ASCOM_Image.xls It's based on Bob's PinPoint 4 documentation of...
So, assuming the command codes for the Temma can be deciphered into the driver, how would MSComm be included as to not conflict with what is already 'hard...
Chuck -- You can use MSCOMM normally. There will be no conflict. There is no hard wiring. Just don't create and use DriverHelper.Serial, it won't work for you ...
Excellent!!!! And the decision to call it FITS.Image is perfect. A couple of comments: The items should have units, even though they are "obvious. For example,...
Hi all -- As some of you know, SPACE.com is responsible for a grant that jump started ASCOM a few years ago. They decided that ASCOM was the way to go for...
Hi all! I've been working on a personal project consisting in translating Lx200 commands to other mounts. As a first step, I've built an ASCOM module. That is,...
OK, this is totally cracking me! Mt VB telescope driver keeps giving me a 'can't load object' error when it is selected from Maxim. Can someone give me a...
Hi, Perhaps Move could be changed to MoveAsync to reinforce the notion ? But we can always write Focus.Move(pos) ' or MoveAsync as being suggested Do While...
Chuc -- It's probably a run-time error in your Class_Initialize() method in the Telescope.cls module. I feel your pain! Here's a trick: (1) Fire up the VB IDE...
Bob, Well, I think my goof up is even more fundamental. I followed your recommendations without finding a problem in the driver? I think I may be taking the...
This stuff has me seeing double. The last line of my previous email should have read: What I have learned so far is that I'm really bad at this ;-) Regards, ...
Hi Tim! Well, I'm doing it the easier way. The LX200 app talks to a com port, and I read the input of another one. Thus, I have to connect both ports with a...
... If synchronous is true, the motion will have completed by the time you call isMoving. So isMoving must always return false if sync is true. So there is no...
