Autoslew whish: Set fan speed via external script


photon

Recommended Posts

Dear group,

 

in my imaging process I could automate everything, except one thing: Turning the telescope fan on. Currently this is possible only using the Autoslew GUI.

 

Therefore I would desire to implement an API call in Autoslew to set the Fan speed (the same extended ASCOM calls as already used for MotorOn/Off, LaserOn/Off, etc.).

Hello Gerald (photon),

 

I do not have an answer to your question .... sadly. 

 

But you may have an answer to my question:

 

You said there is an extended ASCOM command to turn the motors ON/OFF ?

 

Can you tell me what this command is ? Is there some place where all these extra commands are listed/documented ? 

 

Thanks
