Gabriel Investigate TCP/IP Stuff
- Tried setting up TCP/IP server on T.C.S - SUCCESS
- Go to DFMTCS (program), open Options→ Communication→ TCP/IP→Activate Connection. TCP/IP address and port configurable while TCP/IP server is offline.
- Service status exists on the bottom right of DFMTCS program
- Tried connecting the T.C.S(telescope control system) to the D.C(data computer) - FAILED
- Tried connecting the said computers directly via ethernet cable -FAILED (D.C didn't recognize the connection - checked with ipconfig and windows control panel. T.C.S recognized connection but documented "no internet access")
- Tried connecting through local network, D.C recognizes T.C.S TCP/IP address, no connection through DFM TCP client, could be DFM client issue.
- Tried connecting the T.C.C S. to localhost/TCP address via TCP/IP / SUCCESSFUL- SUCCESS
- Tried through DFM TCP/IP client -FAILED
- Tried TCP/IP client of off internet -SUCCESS (buggy)
- Don't know if T.C.S connects to address directly through localhost or through local network and then its ip address
Pointing Scope
- Opened SharpCap
- Opened TheSky6
- Connecting CMOS to DC:
- Originally connected LBD cable to CMOS, then to DC – Failed. Red LED lit on remote end
- Then disconnected everything
- Then connected LBD to DC, then to CMOS. – Success. Green LED lit on remote end
- Detecting CMOS in SharpCap
- After successful connection between DC and CMOS (measured by LED on LBD?(ask Onkar))
- SharpCap was not seeing
Other Notes
- Seems like we need to connect LDB to DC before CMOS for successful connection
