Linux support for LX200: #1

Closed james-lan closed 5 years ago

james-lan commented 5 years ago

V4L (via OpenCV) and feature tracking works Connecting via using the whole device name (ex: /dev/ttyACM0) works for the telescope.

A couple of lines for initial INDI support. (Hidden for now) Removed the ASCOM option for non-windows platforms.

Untested: Actual movement on a scope. Brightness tracking (Using my computer, and available LEDs are either too bright or too dim for a contrast.) I suspect it works.

Unable to be tested: I suspect that LX200 usage will be supported on Macs, I don't have a mac though.

Of note: I was initially going to add INDI support first, and will work on it when I get a chance, but LX200 on Linux seemed like a really low hanging fruit.
