LX200 - Support OpenAstroTech mounts #491

Closed jimtjames closed 1 year ago

jimtjames commented 1 year ago

The current LX200 driver does not support OpenAstroTech mounts. These mounts have an LX200-like serial protocol documented here.

Some key differences are a 19200 baudrate and extra properties for add-ons (GPS, level, etc.). I've started work on supporting this mount on this fork, mostly just using the Meade flavor of commands with a 19200 baudrate.

I’ll look at it.

jimtjames commented 1 year ago

Great, thank you! The fork I wrote is able to connect to the mount and move it in Ain, though I haven't tested it much beyond that.

Pls. can you test this efcc583?

I used your changes + added some more code (autodetection, state checking, tracking rate etc).
