Moving primary/secondary axis #4

Hi, the original driver states that it does not support said features, which results in:

ASCOM Device Hub crashes, when clicken N / E / S / W, it also
Apps like N.I.N.A show the arrow keys as disabled
ASCOM POTH lets me use the arrow keys, but I believe they behave strange. E/W move a lot for 1'

So my first question is: Does your driver support this aready? Or otherwise: Do you think this can be implemented? I'm a programmer, but perhaps you have already some insights.

I just realized something while searching for the ASCOM command codes used in this codebase... To support axis movement we would also need to provide our own Windows ASCOM driver, because obviously this driver implement the ASCOM Telescope interface and delegates to the Bresser handbox by defining its own command codes,

I'm closing this issue because I'm going to sell the Bresser Goto Kit. I've moved to OnStep, which can do all these things.
