No ASCOM driver. Linux with direct serial commands. -- benoit

using an ap-1600 + the sky I did a goto and the mount went into a never ending RA move(well, I stopped it after 3 full rotations) (broke two cables) ? I checked the command log from the sky and this w

I would pay $500 for an AP driver working on Linux with TheSkyX linux edition if it has functions which are not obvious LX-200 protocol copycat. -- benoit

there is an easy way to prevent non Astro-Physics mount from using the ap applications. just use a public/private key system to encrypt the command before sending them to the mount. Anybody can encryp

Thank you for the suggestion Roland, but I fear that I cannot run windows software in my system (all Linux based). I will use the older :pR# :pP# commands to implement then. -- benoit
