- Fixed bug in LX-200 Classic IsSlewing detection (bug introduced in 0.7.13)
-
- Modified the pulse guiding command to better detect if the telescope is slewing
- Added support for telescope hitting the mount (for older telescopes only)
- Added post connect test to check that the serial port is operating correctly.
- Added backlash compensation to the focuser
- Added reverse direction support for the focuser
- Added ability to unpark telescope (LX200-GPS only)
- Refactored the backlash compensation so that less move commands are issued.
- Adding support for enabling the Rts and Dtr signals on the serial port, this allows the driver to connect to Meade LS 8 telescopes. (Don’t turn it on for others as it’s the #505 cable does not use those connections)
- Added support for setting the site elevation, it’s saved to the profile rather than the scope.
- Low precision enhancements that will benefit LX200 Classic owners
-
- Adding new setting to allow people to override the driver and decide on the guiding technique themselves.
- Added and error message to the trace log when the com port is failing and looping back data
-
- Driver now throws an exception if a PulseGuide is initiated whilst the telescope is slewing or already moving in the same axis.
- Driver now returns false to Telescope.Slewing when a pulse guiding action is taking place.
-
- Added unit test for getting site count
- Set global com visible to false and only exposed the classes that need to be.
- Added try catch to the default constructor to show the details of an error if something goes wrong.
- Fixed double.parse error caused by cultureInfo.
-
- Added extra # in front of every command as recommended by Meade.
- Code inspections
- Duplicate reconcile
- Code upgraded to use .net 4.5
- Added log message for when a pulse guide move is completed that will show the difference.
- .net 4.5 is not being recognised as installed, so trying a different variable.
- Modified how the old guiding method is implmented – it’s now much simplified and uses the same move axis commands as normal slewing, which is what it does under the hood anyway.
- Modified how the RA detection is done, and changed the message logs
- RA position report on connect to trigger for ALL connects.
- Modified the LX200 Classic connections, so that if a :GVP is returned when :GVP# is sent, it assumes an error. A timeout will be assumed to be an LX200 Classic.
- Started working on unit testing for the sharedresources class.
- Changed the code to detect any exception when trying to run a :GVP after the initial connect.
- Upgraded the Profile code to be contained inside a wrapper and started adding unit tests to cover.
-
- Experimental support for LX-200 EMC
- Code tidyup
-
- Adding version number to the settings dialog
- Added feature where setup dialog controls are disabled when the telescope or focuser is attached
- Modified the whole solution to use Any CPU, and changed the installer to use the /register /unregister commands
- ASCOM Profile for Meade Generic removed on uninstall, but not on upgrade (the not on upgrade part is experimental)
-
- Fixed typo in new secondary connection log message (added the missing closing bracket)
- Added the MIT License to the installer
- Please note, this is not a required update.
-
- Added log message when connecting a telescope to show when the first connection adjustments are made or skipped
