TimC Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi, I have my scope's fans connected to the ASA mount DDM85's fan controller facility. I can switch my fans on and off by using the slider control on the Autoslew software. Is there a way to switch the Fan control slider on and off using visual basic scripting?? I have scripts to park the mount etc, but is there a way to use script for the fan control slider?? I currently find that to slide the slider half way across gives a good fan speed on my scope. Thanks and regards, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukepower Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Regrettably there is no such interface in ascom, so no you can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmirot Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Regrettably there is no such interface in ascom, so no you can't I has a switch interface. Will that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukepower Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Maxmriot, yes, but autoslew would have to expose that interface... Should be pretty easy to implement if the coder wants so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yeah....but there is no input from the coder here. Perhaps I will email him directly ? Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdufoer Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 After 3 years... did you have a response on this? I'm having the same issues. I'm trying to write a small script to do this; but it doesn't work. It doesn't trigger an error, but I don't hear the fans working. Option Explicit On Error Resume Next Dim scope Set scope = CreateObject("AstrooptikServer.Telescope") scope.Action "Telescope: StartFans","10" Set scope = Nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
