<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Jared,</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I tested b76 with POTH and I can
now initialize POTH first from AP then add the others in. I keep ASCOM up to
date so it should be achievable. Follow Paul’s path to setup POTH and it should
work. Also remember that POTH also has to be setup with the correct telescope
mount. In the Telescope Edit window besides that POTH is selected I have only
the mimic window checked. The other logging features seem to cause Exceptions on
my machine. One more thing the “Slew to Object” (AP) never becomes active on my
setup. I have to go through the “Telescope” menu and select “Go To” to slew the
scope.</P>

<DIV>I have POTH running and connected to the sim. I then opened up AP and
attempted to connect via ASCOM. I have also attempted without using POTH and
only using ASCOM and haven't had any luck :-(</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had MaxIm connected to POTH before connecting AP so it looks like POTH
is working correctly. Also from what I have read you no longer need to run
POTH since ASCOM now supports multiple connections. Still AP and ASCOM don't
seem to be working on my end even without POTH. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Maybe I've missed something? The ASCOM setup in AP looks pretty
simple. I guess it just needs to know to use the ASCOM driver and ASCOM does
the rest from there. </DIV>

<DIV>Thanks again!</DIV>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I have not tested POTH with
AP in the last few releases but in the past AP had some trouble with
initializing POTH. I found if I use another program like CdC to initially
connect via POTH then AP could join in. This seemed to work well and allowed
both to communicate the scope.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

after POTH is started. Look under the Setup button. </P>

Current ASCOM Support?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hey all, <BR>I've been changing
up my configuration lately and I'm trying to get POTH hub working with
AstroPlanner. I'm doing this because I have some issues with my
BlueStar connector when using AstroPlanner and I'm trying to see if
connecting to ASCOM rather than directly to the BlueStar would help to
alleviate some of the problems (I also realize that this will likely
create some fun new problems too!)<BR><BR>Anyways I know there were
initially some ASCOM issues with AP and I was trying to figure out if
ASCOM is currently working and my setup is just bad or what the deal
is. Right now I have The scope simulator running and I'm attempting
to connect to it through the POTH but I keep getting a "No response from
telescope..." error. There doesn't seem to be a lot of configuration
under the "edit" option for the ASCOM driver in AP. I'm guessing
when I click the connect button that I should see the ASCOM telescope box
pop up and I can select whatever I want it to connect to...is this
normally the case? <BR><BR>Running on Win 7 64bit with the latest
ASCOM platform. Just grabbed AP 2.0b76.<BR><BR>Also is there any place to
search this list?<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR>Jared<BR>
