... It's a .NET concept, intended to avoid DLL hell, I'm not sure if I've understood it correctly. A search for .NET strong name might help, but essentially it...
Hi Chris, Not sure about DLL hell, i'm in software hell (joking) Recon i've spent 2x as long trying to get this driver to work correctly than the rest of the...
Now I see who to blame that Starizona is bugging me about what it will take to control 2 MicroTouch focusers with one PC. :) That MicroTouch driver was written...
Gil Yep it is me stiring up the waters. I talked with Dean today and he sent me a file tonight that didn't help. If you can work with Dean on getting this done...
Hi Group, Big thanks to the group - Chris, Peter & Tim Last night Peter & Tim were good enough to inspect my driver source and environment. Their comments...
Giving something a 'strong name' means you are signing it with a
cryptographic key, so that the assembly cannot be tampered with unless
it is re-signed by the...
Hi Tim, OMG - did you change language when the text went to red J Thank you for the information but I think I'll let anyone have the driver and they can do...
Hello all, this is my first message in this forum. I use to program some little applications for my own use in Visual Basic 6. I am trying some basic...
Yeah I think the program Dean sent you was a special program I wrote for someone at NASA years ago. It allows you to control 4 MicroTouch focusers at once but...
There's a couple of pdfs in the ASCOM Platform 6 - Developer Documentation section: how to create a local server based driver how to create multiple versions...
The order of the data in ImageArray compared to the order in the Picturebox can be difficult to work out. You may have to experiment with the way the data is...
Thank you, Chris, I will try platform 6 But, as I was saying, all seem to work fine if I use the camera simulator, even with platform 5.5 Also the part...
Gil I would like it to be controled from Ascom. Thank you for working on this. The sooner the better for me but I undersand you are busy. When you have time to...
Thanks for the tips Chris. I am familiar with the local server but I think it was from Platform 5. I wrote Starizona's Hyperion driver which was based on the...
Does anyone [know of] or [have] or [has written] a simple windows ASCOM application which can control an ASCOM camera and ASCOM filterwheel via a script? I've...
Yesterday night I was installing platform 6 and trying the new camera simulator. It's very nice because, as Chris said, you can choose an image to work with. I...
I think the program you want is called Windows Scripting Host <grin>
Seriously though, what do you need an App for? You already have a
specification, so just...
Evening Group, Given the long, light and warm nights I have just completed a project. It's an ASCOM compliant scope focuser. Posted this on a couple of DSLR ...
The problem is saving the camera data. There's an ASCOM style dll to save fits data - FITS.dll made by Matthais Brusch. It's on the web. IIRC it had an...
That's really nice Dave. I like the encoder for position control. Where did you get it? (China is a big place :-) I've done similar things using the Arduino...
Morning Chris, Cool, pleased you liked the project. I was fun and I really learnt loads especially in software land. Written quite a bit of C in work for...
Ah, you're not far from me then. I'm based near Cardiff but I visit
Bristol/Emersons Green area quite frequently. We should get together for
a pint of Butcombe...
Perhaps this highlights a weakness in the ASCOM offering then. I always
thought that the camera interface needed a companion image interface.
The image...
Cool sounds good, I'm about 5mins around the ring road from Emersons. Work as a Chip designer for a company in Chippenham, mainly digital radio receivers &...
Hi all, I have been trying to developed my own application using C# to pilot my Meade telescope. However, when I try to connect to it, i get the following...
Hello group, does anybody know how to run ASCOM Platform 6.0 beta and EQMODAscom V.123i with Guide 8.0 ? I installed from Guide UpDate Site the asc_link.dll...
Yea, I figgured I'd have to roll-my-own, but thought i'd throw it out there. Tim/Chris, thanks for the insight - I'll do a little research on the items you...
Can you run the Diagnostics tool included with Platform 6 and post the
log file that it produces? At the end of the log file there will be a
summary of any...
Hi, I built my first focuser project a few years ago with a rotary encoder. I hadn't seen one yet at the time and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who...
Hi there Sander, I also got a little stuck on the ASCOM driver but it turned out to be pilot error and the boys on the ASCOM forum sorted me out PDQ. The...
