Peter, On Thursday night, I went through all of the VB source folders and picked the one I felt was the best to use for a starting point. Indeed, it was the...
... We didn't hook up by phone -- Did you get my relply with timezone etc? There are a few tricks that will save you much grief! Some are non-obvious. It would...
Hello, I wrote a software for guiding of telescopes with a Webcam. I would like to use the ASCOM-Logo on the Homepage. Can some people test the ASCOM...
Hi all, I'd appreciate some help on an issue I've come up against. I'm trying to allow the telescope to be a hub and accept multiple client connections but to...
Bob, In Meade Driver Version 4.1.9 the Unpark method is not implemented but the Property CanUnpark returns True. Public Property Get CanUnpark() As Boolean ...
... Several ways to do this. Easiest is to think in terms of a data base, whether a real DB or a virtual 'persistent storage' type. Another way to handle...
A nice can of worms you've opened there ;-) You need to understand the concept of Application Domains in the .NET Framework. Any classes instantiated in the...
Please tell me the park/unpark feature hasn't been disabled! I rely on that. I could not do robotic operation without it. ________________________________ Tim...
Tim, Mel, Peter, and all, Well, I for one would be interested in this thread, could you include me in any "offlist" conversations, or keep it here? I have the...

Disregard my last post about the bad AP driver. I discovered that if the the "quiet scope" box is checked in POTH version 4.03 I get the messed up az readout...
Tim, In POTH the Park function is not disabled, only the Unpark one is disabled if the scope driver does not support Unpark function. Indeed the MeadeDriver...
My concern is with the Meade driver, not POTH. Are we talking about the "Meade LX-200 and Autostar" driver here? If so, why has the Unpark function been...
Tim, Here is the code for MeadeDriver Unpark in the Version 4.1.9 ( I received the sources from Bob Denny). Public Sub Unpark() Dim buf As String Dim I As...
Tim, Mel, Dan, Thanks all for your suggestions. I've made some progress today through .NET Remoting and a singleton pattern. With help of a sample app from...
Peter, I'm convinced that is the right way to go. I've had some stalled attempts at doing it for reasons I will not bore the group with, but I think once...
Yes, you cannot unpark an LX200GPS. But if you connect to a LX200GPS that was PARKED, and NOT POWERED DOWN, it will reinitialize it and come up ready to use....
Thanks Bob - when Pierre said that Unpark was not implemented, I was concerned than the logic had been removed completely. As you know, I rely on Unpark for my...
Hi I got more info on an error I am getting. I can make goto's ok with the planetarium's using the ascom interface ,but when I try to move my motor's from...
Hi all, I have put a diagram in the root of the files section showing the basic elements of the Telescope driver I'm working on. It illustrates how the mount...
Heads up LX200 users. The "Meade LX200 and Autostar" driver has a bug that can cause applications to crash with odd messages ("type mismatch", "timeout waiting...

Peter -- Most interesting. And as a framework for new drivers, most encouraging!!! This is truly good stuff! ANd thanks to Tim Long as well for plowing some of...
