Closed loop slew functionality #536

Open Physarah opened 2 years ago

Physarah commented 2 years ago

This is just a wish list item for me. Enabling closed loop slew before we start an observation would ensure we are always on target.

@Physarah What is the main barrier in getting this done? The interface between POCS and TSX?

Physarah commented 2 years ago

I believe so. The trigger from POCS to initiate the closed loop slew (with guide cam presumably), then ensuring POCS doesn't move the mount again afterwards.

danjampro commented 2 years ago

Am I correct in thinking this is this something that is already implemented in TSX GUI?

Physarah commented 2 years ago

yup - so it's just a matter of triggering this from POCS some how

danjampro commented 2 years ago

I think it would require a new item in POCS here:

The only problem is that I have no idea how to write these things. I think @wtgee wrote them originally.

@wtgee, do you have any pointers on how to do this?
