Hi Christopher, Ok, you’re a co-moderator with Jonathan. Thanks, Ken ... From: Christopher Erickson [mailto:cerickson@...] Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2003...
I have the ASCOM platform (2.3f) installed on 3 computers on a TCP/IP network. Two computers are Win98SE and the third is XP. With a test program I can launch...
Gil, I agree. I'm not saying "don't do compensation in the focuser". My point is simply that I see scope for a vertical application that implements a 'killer'...
I'm jumping into the middle of a thread here so I hope I'm not pulling in the wrong direction... If it helps, this is what the RoboFocus control panel calls...
I think "Absolute" and "Relative" mode positioning is a different topic than what I was lobbying for. Right now the Focuser standard supports what I call...
Here's my two cents: * The TCF-S is not really designed to do on-demand temperature compensation. Whenever you switch into temperature compensation mode, it...
... I guess I'm the fellow who penned the first version of what eventually evolved into the V1 focuser standard. From my perspective, there are some good and...
... Yes...I used to own an Optec TCF-S and it does not have on-demand compensation that I know of. That's what prompted me to add that feature in my...
I've currently got it as a custom method in my own in-progress driver. I note Doug posted a message saying that he can see some things that can be improved the...
A couple of people are having problems with the Skymap Pro driver that I wrote. I have retested the driver on a couple of my systems and it runs ok. Here is...
Thanks Chris :-)) But this still does not seem to help me solve my problem. I've come with a solution but I got another problem that I'll mention in my ...
Hi All, First of all let me say that I'm quite new to COM, and the questions I may ask in the present mail may be obvious to experienced ASCOM programmers, but...
You can get a sort of 'on demand' compensation on the Optec TCF-S by turning off the power. When you turn on the power, it will compute its new position based...
... I establish the frame of reference with a method called SnapshotTempPos(). Then I command on-demand compensation moves with CompensateImmediate(). The...
What does your SnapshotTempPos() method do? I can't quite grasp it from the name. Ron Wodaski author of The New CCD Astronomy http://www.newastro.com ... From:...
Hi Al -- ... This relates to not only DCOM black magic, but XP security in general. There are all sorts of things that could cause your symptoms. I've ...
Axel -- Most of the ASCOM components (like most other COM components) are implemented as "apartment threaded". This means that all calls into the component...
It's basically like saying "I'm focused". So the device saves the current temperature and position to use as a reference point for calculating temperature...
Why not just run everything on the remote system and use Remote Desktop Connection to control it? --Tim ... From: Bob Denny [mailto:rdenny@...] Sent:...
Axel, It is hard to understand the code or the error message directly so I really don't understand the specific problem. From what I do surmise, one thing you...
I agree and believe that this is totally an XP security issue. I just can't find the Rosetta Stone for it. The new (Orchestrate-less) interface of TheSky and...
I have a machine dedicated to guiding and another for imaging and control. The latter has TheSky (at this point) connected to the mount. Among other things, I...
... and ... on ... where ... Yes. This works well as does the ASCOM Telescope Simulator when I use win98 machines. It is only this damned XP "security" issue...
Al and Bob, What you both say makes sense, the solution then seems to be to create a new thread where the ASCOM object is both declared and called. Thanks a...
Anybody got any ideas on this one? I really need help! It's got stranger, in that one user reports that my DLL does not work on his system (Win98) with SMP...

The user reporting problems with the Autostar and the ASCOM driver has provided some diagnostics. Basically the problem is to do with coordinate formats. The...
... OK, the first place to look is in the DCOM settings for TheSky (the "server"). Start with a Win98 machine for the guiding computer and XP for the...
