Thanks for the information Larry. I will try to reproduce this. Ajai _____ From: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Ajai, When connecting the focuser after connecting the telescope in MaxIm DL, the focus speed control on the RCX Control panel disappears and the corrector...
Hi everyone: I have the latest version of ASCOM working with the David EK DSC but have recently been unable to communicate using the USB Port 4 on the...
The better USB/Serial drivers let you arbitrarily assign logical comport values to the different physical ports. Usually this is done in the Device Manager,...
Jim, this isn't going to be what you want to hear, but... Software that only supports 4 com ports is woefully inadequate in this age of USB and Bluetooth. It...
Gentlemen, thanks so much, I have a fix now! Tim, you were right in thinking that the Windows XP Home Edition had a way of editing the port settings through...
The driver would be easy to fix it the source code were available. What do you mean that "Dave is no longer up on a website"? There seems to be current ...
Hi Tim- While support for all possible com ports would be nice, you probably shouldn't expect more than 16, since that is all the standard VB6 com control...
Thanks Chris: I sent a quick message to Dave Ek on his new email address shown on the website, and so far, it has not been returned as undeliveralbe. So thats...
OOOPSSS, guys, I think I am wrong about the number of other telescope control choices that only have 4 port settings! Looks like the EKBox 1.0 Properties...

Hi Phil, This is by design. When you connect the focuser, it turns the relative Meade focuser into an absolute focuser. To do this, I have to rack the ...
... Thanks to all for responding. A clarification...When I use the telescope api for the Sky and then select ACP Hub as the driver isn't this using the meade...
The design works well if the focus control is used only from the computer or if the focuser is not connected and all focusing is done from the Meade handbox....
Now that's like a red rag to a bull. <soapbox> VB6 is a legacy application that has had support dropped by the vendor. Have you tried buying a copy lately?...
Hi Tim- I don't really disagree. I'm porting many of my active VB6 projects to VB and C# .NET, including my ACL ASCOM driver (and a couple of pseudo-ASCOM ...

Just for interests sake, here is the accepted definition of "Open Source", as promulgated by OSI: http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php Doug ... Doug...
Well, that was a very measured response to my previous rant. Actually I don't think that anyone should be forced to cut to .Net overnight. What I think ASCOM...
I'm not sure what prompted that, but it does beg the question "What do you call ASCOM then?" Clearly ASCOM as a whole is not open source by any definition;...
Thanks for the feedback Phillip. I am not sure why the focuser glitched like that. It should not be possible (ah but then again that is the nature of bugs). ...
... I happened across that definition, and there had been some discussion about that topic previously. So I thought I'd mention it. ... OSI maintains the...
ASCOM isn't Open Source or open source. It never was, although I think it has, and should continue to encourage developers to make some of their source code...
Happy July 4th, Would someone clarify how the LX-200R GPS functions on connect. After parking the scope with the hand paddle and powering down then powering up...
Today I installed Visual studio 2005 at work... I tried porting a program, written in VB6, to .NET This program simulates a GPS by sending a couple of NMEA...

... Egad! You're a Seattlite, too? ... *ding* There are two halves to this: (A) can it be done? Yes. There's a whole set of undocumented commands which...
You should use the SerialPort com class. It is rock solid, if you have problems with it is likely your code and not the framework. Porting from VB6 to dot net...
