Hi Folks....hope all is well out there in starry land.... I have a client who is wanting to know if there has been any issues reported running the m1OASYS...
Chris, For the first year or so I ran the M1 in an open roll of observatory. The system operated remotely perfectly just as it did during the August heat...
Folks: I am currently installing the M1oasys into my RoRo observatory. I need a wiring diagram for the Telescope sensors. The Transmitter and Receiver each...
Hi Bob, I'll send you a reply off-line. Your scope sensor contains a transmitter and a receiver, each needs 12v power from the m1Gold System. You then...
Chris: I appreciate your reply....but my request remains....I need a wiring diagram to ensure the proper wiring of the scope sensors to the M1 platform....
Chris: Thanks for you response. Please pardon my anxiousness. I have been trying to put the system together for the past week and I'm a little frustrated....
Hi Bob, I typically will spend an hour or 2 with each person installing an M1OASYS so it is no problem at all...  I did not get your number so feel free to...
Chris: Thanks for the information. I will proceed with the install with the information and wiring diagrams you provided. I'm sure that when I get to actual...
Fellow RoRos: Does anyone have any samples of vbcode that allows an attached computer read data from and communicate with and control the M1 system? I have my...
Chuck: I am communicating via Ethernet. Thanks for the link to the updated ELK command protocol (v1.77). I had an older version 1.58. My question remains, do...
You will need to create a socket. Here simple code to establish a Winsock connection via VB6. You can then send the query commands like roof status via a...
Chuck: Thanks for the code. I'll let you know how it goes and I'm sure I'll be needing more information. Bob Gillard ... Winsock connection via VB6. You can...
I'll be here <g>. Good luck! Regards, Chuck Faranda http://ccdastro.com ... From: "Bob Gillard" <bobgillard@...> To: <m1oasys@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
Chuck--In my configuration with an open-truss RC I was getting visible reflections from the "red light reflector sensor" up into the secondary cage at certain...
Hi David, I haven't noticed any ill effects with my open truss yet, but then again one can read a book with the light pollution here. In any event, I'm sure...
Hi ya'll...I am out at my DAV observatory and had a chance to work some logic out for my solution to power off all scope sensors during an open roof situation,...
Chris H. Thanks for your help. I will study this and see how I can adapt it to suit my needs. It is a big help though to have a starting point. Chris A Dark...
Folks: I'm working slowly, but surely in the implementation of the M1 system for my RoRo. Everything wired, able to connect via Ethernet with both the ELK-RP...
Chuck: Please explain. I know how to connect a vbasic program to TheSky or CCDsoft, but I'm not sure what ASCOM driver you are talking about. Is there any...
Chris: My question still remains. I will write my own code to automate the roof closure. I appreciated the fact that other software exists to accomplish this...
Hi Bob, I sent you the basics for communicating. That coupled with the command protocols listing in the ELK docs I think Chris sent to you is all you need....
Bob, Also, check out the ASCOM Dome driver's exposed methods/properties that you can access via scripts by looking in your 'Start/All Programs/ASCOM...
Chuck: I really appreciate your information and patience. Here is my current sticking point. I have written a vbasic program using the Client/Server Winsock...
Odd, I have not encountered any issues using port 2101 unless a router or other firewalls were blocking it. Enjoy your vacation, we will sort things out when...
