Nebulosity and ASCOM focuser

[james_screech]

Has anyone got Nebulosity to work with a ASCOM focuser?

I've been trying using the simulators and a home built focuser and the ASCOM calls made by Nebulosity appear to be very erratic to say the least.

i have neb 3 and it links to my hitec astro ascom compatible focus controller with no problems at all, i just click on connect and choose from the list it provides.

When I connect to the simulator in Absolute mode and perform the following sequence of operations in Nebulosity I get the following:

Nebulosity commands:

Goto 1000

<

ASCOM API traffic:

IsMoving: False

Move: 1000

 (move complete)

IsMoving: False

Move: -64535 (aborting, range)

IsMoving: False

Move: -64537 (aborting, range)

IsMoving: False

Move: -64516 (aborting, range)

IsMoving: False

Move: -64556 (aborting, range)

With the simulator as a Relative focuser and the same commands I get the following trafic:

IsMoving: False

Move: -65535 (aborting, range)

IsMoving: False

Move: -1

 (move complete)

IsMoving: False

Move: -65516 (aborting, range)

IsMoving: False

Move: -20

 (move complete)

I've tried similar commans in APT and my own test application and they work fine. So I'm sure the issue is not with the simulator.
