	Hi and happy new year everybody! I just wanted to let you know that I have finished coding on my ASCOM compliant telescope driver for Vixen SkySensor 2000-PC....
72		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 15, 2001 12:57 am
	GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is SUCH good news, Arne. I am in the process of building the second test release of the ASCOM Telescope SDK. The only...
73		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 15, 2001 4:55 am
	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...
74		Arne Danielsen arnedani@...	Jan 15, 2001 1:48 pm
	Thank you very much for your response, Bob! I will incorporate the changes you have listed into my driver. When it comes to including this driver into the beta...

	Perfect. I'm looking forward to seeing it. -- Bob...
76		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 18, 2001 7:00 pm
	This is it... Tomorrow is the day that beta 2 of the Telescope SDK gets built. Inputs are needed by end of day today. -- Bob...

	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 I don't know why I originally made them...
78		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 23, 2001 10:27 pm
	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...
79		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 25, 2001 3:44 pm
	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 ...

	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 ...
81		Mel Bartels mbartels@...	Jan 25, 2001 4:56 pm
	Hmm, if you are going to delineate CanPark from CanSlew, you might consider adding CanTrack. With some scopes, tracking is unique from slewing (even to the...

	Bob; FYI, ScopeSim produces a "Type Mismatch" in module Startup ->main-> " g_dSiteElevation = CDbl(g_Profile.GetValue(ID, "Elevation"))" Ken...
83		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 25, 2001 8:27 pm
	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 ...
84		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jan 25, 2001 8:39 pm
	... Delete the registry settings from the old ScopeSim and it will work. Doug -- Doug George ============================================================= ...
85		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 25, 2001 9:51 pm
	Mel -- Outstanding suggestion! I have added three more as well: CanFindHome CanSetPark CanUnpark These will be in the next SDK and interface, which...
86		Jeff Medkeff medkeff@...	Jan 26, 2001 12:01 am
	... In view of capabilities provided by the Meade LX-200, and the serial pass-through on the Optec TCF, and the general non-settled nature of this area, you...
87		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 26, 2001 5:32 am
	Jeff -- ... Weeellll -- how 'bout we define a separate Focuser object? There's nothing preventing a single component from implementing more than one ...
88		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jan 26, 2001 6:09 am
	... I did just that a little while ago, but got no comments on it... hint, hint. Douf -- Doug George ...
89		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 26, 2001 6:16 am
	You know... I could swear you posted that in non-MIDL format... but I can't find that one. Perhaps you have a copy of it and can re-post? -- Bob...
90		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 26, 2001 6:17 am
	OOPS, I forgot to quote Doug, who had posted a focuser interface proposal back in November. Sorry. -- Bob...
91		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jan 26, 2001 6:21 am
	... Here it is... Bob thought that dumping word-wrapped IDL into my e-mail was too hard to read! Here's a condensed version: Properties ... Link...
92		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jan 26, 2001 6:34 am
	... I did in fact add the above. If anyone's interested I can dig up the extra info. Doug -- Doug George ...
93		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 26, 2001 7:07 am
	Doug George has posted this a couple of times, both as part of threads that caused it to be buried. I am exercising my moderator-ly prerogative here and ...
94		Arne Danielsen arnedani@...	Jan 26, 2001 1:31 pm
	Everybody, Another candidate is CanSetupDialog (or SupportSetupDialog). Some drivers might not need a setup dialog and will return SCODE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED if ...
95		Arne Danielsen arnedani@...	Jan 26, 2001 1:36 pm
	In order to confirm with the Telescope interface I would like to suggest renaming Link property to Connected. I would also suggest moving capability properties...
96		Jeff Medkeff medkeff@...	Jan 26, 2001 2:20 pm
	... I think that's a great idea, and I like the direction Doug is going with this. But you've got LX-200 focusing bound up so closely with ACP's scope object...
97		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 26, 2001 3:35 pm
	Arne -- I like the idea of the CanSetupDialog property. I've added it to the list. As for the separate ICapabilities interface, I understand your suggestion ...
98		Douglas B. George dgeorge@...	Jan 26, 2001 3:36 pm
	... The best approach is to have the telescope controller DLL expose two standard interfaces; one for the telescope and one for the focuser. That way, the...
99		Bob Denny rdenny@...	Jan 26, 2001 5:15 pm
	Right, I guess I wasn't clear enough about that. The single component (DLL) exposes 2 objects and they share the serial port. The script has no idea that the...
100		matthias.busch@...	Jan 26, 2001 6:21 pm
	... Yes - in ASCOM we should allow several components in one DLL, but every component must have only one interface (to enable scripting)... Matthias...
