Add Pulse Guiding to LX200 Classic Driver over Serial Port
Currently, the Indi driver does not support Pulse Guiding over the RS232 port like ASCOM does for the LX200 Classic telescope mount. I spoke to an ASCOM developer and looked at the code and all they are doing for the classic is telling the scope todo to the following:
Direction = North, East, South, or West (N,E,S,W in command)
- Slew to <direction> ( :M<direction># )
- delay(<pulseDuration>*10) //delay for the pulse duration in MS
- Stop Slewing to
( :Q<direction># )
I have a Hardware work around, though not everyone knows how to solder. I am parsing out the ":Mg" command that is being sent to the scope that the LX200 ignores via an Arduino and some other hardware.
