Because of Raspberry controller is able to manage different devices more Ascom driver are needed, one for each device. Now the first driver is developed using Microsoft Visual Studio, thanks to development tools supplied by Ascom Platform. Conformance checker was used to verify and validate it. Conformance document was generated.
Communication between driver and Raspberry is done via TCP/IP, Each driver
uses its own port. Raspberry implement a UDP broadcast communication used to
make know its IP address to the driver, in this way IP address can be discovered
during the driver setup.
These are the supported
features:
- Alignment: Polar
- Sync and async
target and coordinate Slewing
- Target and
coordinate Sync
- Tracking: Sireal with
the possibility set right ascension and declination rate
- Move axis support
- Topocentric equatorial
system
- Parking on local
meridian at declination 0
- Pulse guide
support
- Aperture area and
diameter and focal length are from Raspberry controller where can be
configured.
- Observatory site
location is from Raspberry controller where can be configured.
In the resource you can find driver setup and conformance document
