Sostituzione dei plugin per i telescopi

Introduzione

Fin dal 1999 il programma utilizza specifici plugin per interfacciarsi al telescopio.
Sfortunatamente, a causa della tecnica utilizzata, questi plugin sono limitati all'utilizzo su sistemi Windows a 32bit.

Inoltre attualmente sono utilizzati nuovi standard per interfacciarsi ai telescopi:

  • ASCOM per sistemi Windows 32/64bit
  • INDI per Linux e Mac OS X

Nuove versioni di Skychart possono interfacciarsi direttamente con ASCOM e INDI senza utilizzare i vecchi plugin.

Perciò la domanda è: Posso rimuovere il vecchio metodo d'interfaccia tramite plugin nella prossima versione?

In sostanza si tratta di rimuovere la casella d'opzione “Plugin CdC” nelle impostazioni del telecopio e non distribuire nessun file .tid con il programma.

Soluzione scelta

Dai vostri riscontri sembra sia preferibile mantenere un driver CdC per queste interfacce, ma il fatto che sia un plugin o no non è importante.

La soluzione è l'integrazione del codice dei vecchi driver Meade e Encoder nel codice principale di CdC. Questo manterrà la funzionalità dei driver e rimuoverà le limitazioni sui sistemi Windows 64, Linux e Mac.

Il seguente ticket seguirà lo sviluppo: http://www.ap-i.net/mantis/view.php?id=745

Discussione (in inglese)

Plugin replacement

There were originally three plugins: Meade, Encoders, ASCOM

It is now possible to replace them by:

Why Meade plugin cannot be replaced for me

For me it can be replaced, I only use INDI LX200 Basic or ASCOM Generic LX-200 with my Mel Bartels mount. — Patrick Chevalley 2010/09/03 16:48

Why Encoder plugin cannot be replaced for me

I no more use Ouranos so I cannot tell about this one. — Patrick Chevalley 2010/09/03 16:50

I am using encoders and the driver emulates the Tangent encoders. The ASCOM version of the drivers supplied with my encoders does not work correctly– spencer@soohoos.org—2010/11/08

I developed my own plugin

Say here if you developed a specific plugin and you not want the system be removed from the program.

Other remarks

My one concern is that the current ASCOM driver for the LX200GPS has some bugs.

I also remember one specific problem with using the LX200 classic ASCOM driver with CdC that used to cause me to sometimes switch to CdC's own Meade driver. But we upgraded to a new LX200R scope at the local obs a few years ago, so I haven't used that recently.

On the other hand, I don't want to slow down development of CdC, and with any luck, the issues with the ASCOM LX200GPS driver should eventually be sorted out.

It's fine with me if you remove the plug-in option.

I upgraded to 3.1.1417 and tried the new code. When I selected the Telescope Control Panel, I got two panels at once – apparently one from each of the two pieces of code since the panels were different. I also got some very strange behavior because of the two panels. I checked the driver selection and only “ASCOM” was selected (which was expected since they are radio buttons). The problem was not corrected until I selected “CdC Plugin” and then re-selected “ASCOM”. Now I get only one control panel and everything works fine.

- Sorry for this bug, it is now fixed and available with September 6 snapshot. — Patrick Chevalley 2010/09/05 17:21


I also noticed small bugs using the Ascom driver in combination with LX200GPS mount. When setting the time, it reports back to CdC 'Irvine' as the name of the place of observation. And I did set my local coordinates and the name of our city which is Nijmegen instead of Irvine. This can be a problem of the LX200GPS (vesion 4.7g) instead of the Ascom driver. And also the marked position on the chart of where the scope is directed to is most often wrong. It 's not much of a problem, slewing the scope to wished positions works flawlessly fine.

At home I also use Mel Bartels' Scope, and so do many of my friends.

You should not remove the driver(s). I use the LX200 driver to point my LX200GPS. I also see the “Irvine” site used. Try as I may, it never replaces the file when I “save” it. I use this with Carte Du Ciel because it is so easy to initialize and it works! Please, test anything new before you drop the present versions~ Thanks for a great program! - Floyd
