EQMod or ASCOMpad?

[Stub Mandrel]

Help?

Are these the same thing?

I'm trying to download EQmod and instead I get ASCOMPad which looks related but different and much simplified.

Ascompad is to control Ascom mounts via a game stick thingy - gamepad

http://eq-mod.sourceforge.net/apindex.html

 

Eqascom is the normal eqmod bit

Agree its a bit confusing !!

A bit???

The EQMOD site sends you to sourceforge where the download button only gives you ASCOMPad.

I can see an EQASCOM folder but although I can open and explore it, I can't see how to download it. The green button just installs ASCOMPad.

Wait.. I may have it...

click on eqascom - his shows the files - click and down load the top file - not the pad download file shown in green.  I will be honest done know if the PAD down includes std EQMOD - never tried it.   It does feel that its coming to "End of Life" with in terms of support - IMHO

Yep,. I figured that eventually. Sourceforge is set up so each program should have a separate page, that is meant for old versions.

A bit worrying that the ascom downloads keep referring to W7 as well. I might dump all the downloads on an archive.

Ascom are pretty up todate - have to be they rely on Microsoft .net etc - but who knows - still it all works.:-)

For some values of up to date... Ascom uses .Net 3.51  but the current stable release is 4.8
