Thanks John, Your report was the key to getting this done. It defined the problem clearly so I was able to reproduce it and fixing it was then easy. It's a two...
Many drivers don't support v5 early binding and will fail to connect. As a workaround you should be able to connect first to the ASCOM Generic Hub, and then...
Hi Frank, thanks for your help! With "Generic hub" do you mean the "Hub (ASCOM driver hub)" or is it a different one which I do not see? If so, with this...
Following up on my previous post, there is now issue downloading v4.1. I'm running XP so this doesn't help me. I wanted to ensure that I could download from...
I've been trying to download Platform 5b for a couple of days now. The transfer gets to 148Kb ( if it even starts to download ) and hangs there. Am I missing...
I've just downloaded Platform 5b successfully so it looks like the
problem is your end. Are you behind a proxy server or some other unusual
network situation?...
Hi- I dunno - it's just called Generic Hub in the ascom installations I have seen. For the most part, the chooser demo example works for me - when I connect...
I can't get the platform to install on Win 7 64 even with UAC off and using msiexec /i ASCOMPlatform5b.msi. The following error occurs, ideas? Regards, Chuck...
Thanks for your reply. I'm not aware of anything unusual but I'll look into that. In my previous "follow up" post, I just noticed my typo. I have actually...
What I see sometimes on _my_ network (I am behind a proxy server) is
that sometimes the proxy will cache a negative response. For example, if
the download...
Thanks for all the replys. I tried the cache clearing with no effect. I've got 2 other machines in the house. They both act the same and don't download...
Dear All, many thanks for your advice and recommendations. I am going to learn programming with .NET Studio now. To me it is not clear how and what classes...
I would like to see the Camera Spec V2.0, and the Platform 6.0 docs and after a bit of looking around (here, the ASCOM site, the files section of this group)...
There are a number of driver examples in the files area, some may have source code and some may be in C#, it's a matter of downloading things and seeing what...
... I had this behaviour, some time ago. In my case, I had three different possible broadband connections, and different routings resulting. The first, a...
I had ASCOM 5.5 installed on my laptop and for various reasons I wanted to go back to the 5.0 version. Every time I try to install it, the installer goes...
I just joined this group. I don't think my original post got sent out. Here is my question/concern: I decided to go back to ASCOM version 5 instead of 5.5 for...
Hi Malcolm, Your first few messages are moderated so we can weed out the spammers, You have full posting privileges now, any delays will be down to Yahoo. ...
I would personally use System Restore (assuming it's enabled and the
history goes back far enough) to restore everything to a known good
state. In this case,...
Hi folks, I have written some code that requires use of the Focuser.Temperature property. Written using the simulator, all is fine. However, trying to access...
Hi Ken, You aren't doing anything wrong, what's happening is that the Microtouch focuser is returning the temperature as a short instead of a double. This...
Thanks Chris, Sorry if I am being dense... I found your code and reviewed the special casts you make. Does this mean that in order to get Micro touch to...
What you need to do is copy the region called Focuser Wrapper at the end of the driver.cs file where the class exFocuser is defined. It could just go in your...
Thanks Chris... that is perfectly obvious. For some reason, I was having trouble resolving that in my brain. For unknown reasons, it never occurred to me...
I'm using Maxpoint. This means of course that Sky6 selects Maxpoint (via the TeleAPI) as the telescope which in turn talks to the AP900 V2 ASCOM driver. The...
