... Great. Its quite simple to implement. Especially since we have Unpark. Everything that would move or sync the scope fails if AtPark is true. Unpark...
Hi Ken, ... Just checking my logic then... If we happen to send the dome via SlewToAzimuth() to the azimuth where the home position is, we would not set...
Hi Pierre, ... The telescpe type sets these things: The Telescope Aperture The Telescope Focal Length If the mount is a GEM or a fork mount If the mount has...
... The difference between the Telescope and Dome specifications is that with the Dome movement is permitted when the dome is parked and with the Telescope it...
Peter -- The NOVAS-COM component, available free from the ASCOM download site, can do this in a few statements, and it's really easy to use from VB. I think ...
Bob, I would put the following wording into the description of the AtPark property: True if the scope has been put into the parked state by using the Park ...
Hi Chris, thanks for your feedback. 2 more questions: - having an incorrect aperture and focal length will not lead to any effect ? I am thinking of using the...
... I don't know, it might matter for MaxIm but probably not for SkyMap Pro. ... Yes, they all have GEM mounts and can have GPS. Its cloudy in the UK as well. ...
... Sorry. I've botched it. I'm hip to this difference. My issue is whether one can enter the Park state via Slewing to the same location as the Park()...
Hi Bob Thanks for that, just the job, and your example worked first time! I do have one other query though, about Astro32.bas and Astro32.dll. The call to...
Since everyone seems to agree that park is a state, please add the following to Remarks section of AtPark description: "Set only following a Telescope.Park...
... Fair enough. I even agree. Should we change the Dome spec or let them diverge? There is no technical reason for them to be different is there? Jon...
Peter -- Yeah, astro32 has a bug in cal_mjd. I'm a bit ashamed about astro32 even existing, as the functions therein are easy enough to implmement in native ...
Bob Ok, I'll scrap it. Thanks Peter ... From: Bob Denny [mailto:rdenny@...] Sent: 02 February 2004 12:40 To: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re:...
Posted on behalf of Jeff Medkeff (whose posts are "going into the bit bucket" for some reason...): ... 1) I'm using them (command* methods) fairly frequently...
Well, yes :-) I'll look at it ASAP. I really hate working on julian-date-time stuff, but I happen to be up to speed on Julian/calendar algorithms at present...
OK, a new astro32.dll (1.5.2) has been placed online at http://ASCOM-Standards.org/downloads.html It's smaller because I used some new code for JD/MJD that I...
The allowable com port numbers in various places should be increased and made consistent. It is not uncommon for users to have double digit numbered COM ports...
I'll get on this tonight after my meeting. I have the comports in the test program set to check all the available ports and only report those that are actually...
Hi Chris, This is what I did to list the available ports: ************************** On Error Resume Next For i = 1 To 20 MSComm1.CommPort = i MSComm1.PortOpen...
Running a fixed number of COM ports is generally a bad idea. The OS provides a discovery method for determining what ports are available- this is what should...
I agree. ASCOM drivers and applications like Maxim, FocusAide, and others have drop down boxes or radio groups that have a specific list of ports. These...
