I’ve been trying to fully automate my sequence and have it all working except closing the observatory roof at the end of the sequence. It seems to timeout after the scope is parked. If I click close in SGP after the failure, it will close.
Any ideas what might keep the roof from closing?
Attached is a copy of the log from my last run.
I’m using version 2.6.0.17
The log file says it got the parked message and is closing the shutter - do you have the log file for the roof too? Looks like SGP issued the instruction:
I think this is the log fie, but it doesn’t offer much information, but it does look like some error occurred after i closed the roof manually I’ll check with the Interactive Astronomy guys and see if they have any ideas.
I wrote my own ROR driver, so have quite an intimate knowledge of the beast - one thing you could check is to download the ASCOM conformance checker from the ASCOM org website and run it on the driver and see what happens. (Make the mount safe beforehand, I’m guessing you have to park yours so that the roof does not hit it)
I downloaded and ran the Conformance Checker and it found no errors with the driver. It also successfully opened and closed the roof a couple of times during the test.
I have sent an email to Interactive Astronomy also to see if they have any insight to the problem.
