More information. I have eliminated ACP as the source of the problem. I did this by inserting POTH between ACP and the LX-200 driver and reproducing the ...
... Excellent sleuthing Mr. Holmes! Since there is no end of slew DETECTION code in ACP, I could have guessed as much. ACP (necessarily) relies on the driver's...
I will do the serial trace soon. The interesting thing is that this always happens when ACP is doing a 'CA Slew' (never the 'ordinary' slew). It must be...
Sorry Ajai :( but I've just installed the ASCOM 4.1 platform on a 'virgin' Windows XP Pro system (no previous version of ASCOM installed, just installed XP...
DOH!!!! I had left the mount type set to GM8 in the simple setup dialog. I changed it to G11 and the Run-time error went away. I must read every field of the...
Actually even though I now have mine working I think there is still a problem with the driver. IF you have the mount connected the first time you run the...
If you want a script to park/unpark an ASCOM telescope, that is trivial and I can provide that. Or are you interested in the workings of the LX-200? Here is a...
Thanks Mark. I will investigate this. It is normal behavior for the driver to come up with the simple dialog the first time if the mount is NOT connected....
PostScript, FYI here. The problem is in the mount firmware. It is issued the proper commands for a short slew (3 arcmin) and it never starts moving. It...
the lx200 classic doesn't really have a "park" function natively, so i didn't know if it was implemented in one of the various drivers or i had to do something...
It is implemented in the Meade driver(s), as long as you USE the driver to both park and unpark. If you fiddle around with the handbox or some non-ASCOM-using...
... Yes, I meant to mention that but forgot-sorry. Another thing to realize is that the driver will tell you what it is capable of and what it isn't. For...
Hello, this is a program, not script. see at http://www.omegalab-atc.com Regards, Salvo. ... From: j9murphy To: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,...
Hi all, I learn a great deal from lurking here, thank you. While not pushing, I am asking what is in the works for including AMD 64 with Windows XP64 in the...
Don, I doubt there is any compelling need to do anything special for 64-bit. Did you have anything special in mind? I can't really see that ASCOM would benefit...
Oops, yes, I should have tested CanUnpark, CanPark, and IsParked. I'm outa here till Tudesday... the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has sent a large...
Tim, I have a AMD 64 with Windows XP 64bit edition and do 64 bit development. For image processing and plate solving there are huge benefits. For planetariums...
Thank you Jonathan you do understand where I am coming from. Tim, You are pretty much correct about the working 32bit WOW'ing in 64bit. I have already...
... Drivers would be fairly simple to recompile using a 64 bit version of Visual Studio (VB6 drivers would require some work) but I don't see any performance...
Good point Doug. The device-specific ASCOM drivers aren't really device drivers in the strictest sense of the term. They are actually simple COM servers that ...
This issue is not getting better performance out of 64bit drivers, the issue is getting a platform with the same bitness from top to bottom so drivers can load...
Yesterday I tested the latest Gemini driver using Poth as the Hub to Cartes Du Ciel and it worked well under MS XP64. I could not get the DDW driver to open...
Hello I have written a Dome driver in Delphi for my dome controller... I couldn´t not find information for this task ,only delphi focuser template .But it was...
...understanding all the parts. (Which apparently I don't yet:)... Could someone out there who has perhaps the same setup i have listed below contact me for...
Hi -- ... I think your question is on-topic and fine to discuss here :-) But before we go any further, what do you mean "play nice together"? What do you want ...
