[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Oh, brother... Previously I sent commands and a sample program for setting tracking rate (thus allowing...
Hi Bob, Well, we returned from sunny Cal (to heat and humidity). We had a great trip, and I surely enjoyed IAPPP. Driven by our conversation (and my own...
As far as the button rate is concerned there is currently no provision in the driver to do it. I could try to add it to the setup dialog if AP supports the...
John -- Most of this post is related to DC-3 products, so I have taken it over to the DC-3 Support list. I have subscribed you and will send the response from ...
Hi Bob, Here are a few more questions (trying to get the two line Plan in the instrucitons to run). * Is there a directive that lets you choose NOT to do a...
Slight clarification on the versions of hand controls that support the new commands, while version 1.5 does support the new commands, that version never...
John -- I am posting this to the DC-3 Support group, and will reply there. You are already subscribed with your new menckescientific.com email address, so ...
I decided to bear down last night and try to repro the LX200 GPS reconnect problem reported by at least two people, including Greg Guzik at LSU. I wrote a...
Don't you hate that! Heisenbugs, we like to call them. I had some similarly strange behavior in the VideoStar firmware when I was working on it. That turned...
Ted -- ... YES!!! ... What I know to be a Heisenbug (at least by "ancient" usage) is one that disappears or changes in character when run in a debugging...
The 3rd and hopefully final beta of the Meade LX200 and Autostar Driver with included ASCOM Focuser support is ready. You can get it at the ASCOM site: ...
Hi Bob, I tried out the driver and had a serious problem. I tried Carte du Ciel first and when I tried to select the drive it gave an OLE error and which ...
Yes, those debugger vanishing bugs are truly heinous! Invariably caused by a stack overrun or getting your array index off by 1... good luck! -Ted ... that ...
Having tried unsuccessfully to promote standards several years ago, I will appeal to this crowd.... As a veteran of 20 years of scientific imaging systems...
... My error. A corrected installer is now online. Carte du Ciel uses the Focuser object? Amazing. ... regsvr32 is only for DLLs. To register an EXE (this one...
Ted, I suspect you are largely preaching to the converted on this list. I've personally written the majority of the camera drivers used in MaxIm DL/CCD. Some...
Hi Doug, Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I had the same experience with the camera drivers my old company wrote. It was often painful. And as you note, once...
... Certainly; the easist drivers we have to write are the ones that just bridge to a manufacturer-provided DLL. Unfortunately, the assumption that all vendors...
Dear Doug: I have a Maxim DL/CCD question. I am making an automation script for my CCD camera, filter wheel, focuser and telescope (SBIG 8e and CFW-8,...
... Version 2 only had basic ASCOM camera control functions. For Version 3 we put a huge effort into making virtually all of the functions of the software...
Yep it's most unfortunate. This is actually a leverage point. If software vendors band together and refuse to debug the camera manufacturer's drivers for them,...
Yes. In MiniSAC you do not have, for example ESO catalogue. There are two archives...one is MiniSAC.dll and the other MiniSAC.DAT. Is it possible to include...
AH! OK, let me see about making poublic the tools for making miniSAC.dat. It's quite simple if you have some way to produce a list of object name, RA, Dec...
Doug,thank you very much, I have downloaded the version3 from the URL you give to me, It has all the functions I want in my automation script. But Can those...
