That firmware file is installed into the directory I listed in the post you responded to when you install that new software. But if everything is working fine...
I don't read the forums very often that's why I supplied my email address in the first post below and you can always contact Starizona and they will contact me...
Hi Jack, By ROI are you referring to "Region of Interest" or "Remote Object Invocation". Probably the former but thought I'll check before I answer. ...
Hi Hristo, Thanks for your reply, my question was a little ambiguous, sorry . I was referring to “Region of Interest”. Regards Jack. From: Hristo Pavlov ...
That was _supposed_ to be part of the point of AstroAnswers, which became a victim of changing business models at StackExchange. It had all the best points of...
So should I crib a Google search link to the phrase that locates it, ha ha? John, can you help me to improve the online info on the ASCOM site, developer...
Hi Jack, I considered adding a support for areas of interest as a first class sitizen to the interface i.e. as direct properties/methods. However I didn't...
Hi Hristo, If I understand you correctly you said, "However I didn't find an application for a video camera for which the support of areas of interest was of a...
Hi Jack, Yes ROI can speed up the frame rate. Note that there are already digital cameras that can do 150fps at full width/height. I feel that adding...
Jack, is ROI something you configure once and leave it set, or is it something that needs to be set 'on the fly'? I'm just trying to understand how it is used....
Tim- It needs to be set on the fly. Here's my use case: I use video to monitor for meteors. Each frame is examined in real time, and an algorithm looks for...
Tim, In my case stopping the camera to select a ROI is not an issue. Jack. From: Tim Long Sent: Friday, July 06, 2012 8:00 PM To: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com ...
API definitions are a bit different to other software implementations. If something is not there then nobody can use it - at least not using your API. This...
... otoh, APIs have a life cycle far beyond any level of sanity, its very hard to deprecate an old API, and having lots and lots of APIs that are barely used...
My experience with APIs is far more positive. These were extensively used during the integration of X.400/X.500/Outlook/Lotus and another product. We not...
There are no hard and fast rules, API design is probably best considered on a case-by-case basis. In the case of ASCOM, because it is late bound, we can always...
Hi Chris, What you are describing is quite intriguing. From what I understand you are changing the ROI on the fly while the meteor is still moving on the sky....
Tim, If you are referring to my example, consider that the UK is also involved with this system. It is also still in use and constantly evolving. (It NEVER...
There is nothing too exotic about either the hardware or software in this meteor capture application. The video frames are maintained in a ring buffer...
Hi, I am making my own mount driver, how can I put the ASCOM protocol inside the driver, the mount can be controlled by computer? ANyone can help. Thanks....
Hello, My name is gustavo. I have an observatory working with ascom for 6 years, with the Lesvedome sistem to operate the dome and an lx200 Gps. use to work...
... ASCOM is not a protocol, its a device driver API so ASCOM can talk to your mount using whatever protocol your mount requires. 1. Install a recent...
The weather finally cleared, so I can now test my driver. last night was just pointing at various stars with CDC and looking for errors. Tonight I will focus...
Thanks, the StarShoot auto guider uses the guide port on the mount so that would not test the guide code in the telescope driver, but my main camera finally...
... AFAIK (1), the starshoot just provides a guider ST4 style port that's accessed via USB, the actual guiding is done in the host software on your laptop or...
after playing with PhdGuiding for a few min it looks like I can select the ASCOM telescope driver under test and not use the on camera stuff to guide the...
