Well, it took making a bold statement about the Telescope API being "final" to bring out an issue. On the phone today with SPACE.com, we decided that we need ...
... ...and the sources for this driver under Source :-) This driver connects to the scripting interface provided by TheSky for telescope control, effectively ...
In the ~telescope\Source directory we can find theSkyDriver.dll and a corresponding test.vbs... Set s = CreateObject("Bisque.Telescope") Set u =...
as long as it can support Paramount :) for smartscope. What did you think about the image scale Rick Wagner sent around Pat Browne, P.Eng Software Designer ...
Ken, and others -- It appears that I goofed in not removing the old registry data under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software ASCOM Telescope Drivers ScopeSim.Telescope ...
Greetings! It has been rather quiet here lately... well here's something to spice things up: As promised, the second (and hopefully final) evaluation release...
I have decided to merge the Chooser into the DriverHelper component, eliminating the separate DriverChooser component. I don't know why I originally made them...
I'm about to release the second (and hopefully last) beta of the ASCOM Telescope Driver SDK. My note to Arne Danielsen spoke of some of the improvements...
... Bob Denny's AcquireImagesFlex.VBS program is a listprocessor that has quite similar functionality, except it doesn't have a UI; some people think UI's get...
I was wondering if anyone has made an ASCOM compliant scripting interface similar to Bisque's Orchestrate? Us non-programers should be able to fully enjoy the...
I've had a couple of folks express some concern that this list is "just for programmers". Please, those of you who are interested in the possibilities offered...
I haven't noticed any significant feedback on the focuser control object I proposed a while back. If anyone has some thoughts on it, I'd be very interested....
... I am working on something similar, though my concentration is not on NEO's but on arbitrary classes of objects - such as galaxies for supernovae searches,...
Hello all, This is my first submission to this group, and I've already reviewed all the previous messages (this promises to be a great discussion group, and...
I have written what I *think* is a COM Server that lives in an EXE that I created with Visual Basic 5. The server currently contains two objects ("MPCStuff"...
Friendly nudge -- this is actually a DC-3 dreams product support issue rather than an ASCOM issue. Future questions like this might better be handled on the ...
... My fault. When you pass a variant by reference you get VT_VARIANT|VT_BYREF, which needs to be dereferenced to get the VT_BSTR. The necessary little chunk...
... I have noticed some interesting behaviour from COM interfaces. For example, I was recently writing a COM client. It had a timer which would poll the COM ...
Finally, a question for Bob: ACP 1.3 sp 1, when set to night mode, causes the taskbar and all desktop icons to disappear from the screen. They remain there -...
Hi all, We've had a few conversations about strange behavior in which scripting code, trying to create an object, fails to do so, but a second try succeeds. I...
Certainly Robert. I've been involved with software for the last 20 years, the last two main tasks in date were a good part of the design of the BeOS operating...
Hello folks, I'm very glad to see this list developing. I never really used the conference but an e-mail list I can handle. I noticed Jim Vail was asking about...
Here at 701 we've got a big problem, and I want ASCOM folks' input on my solution to it. I've just sent 124 observations to the Minor Planet Center, the bulk...
Hi, Why don't we come up with an ASCOM standard for focuser control? I've already got an ASCOM-compliant focuser control working for the Optec TCF-S, and I'm ...
I hope this group is a bit more active than the last ASCOM group. To start things (between the four of us :) ),I'll throw out a question. When I start a...
Gosh, before I could post my first message, 4 people joined and Jim Vail posted a message. I hope this is an indication of better success than the old ...
