How to add EQMod/Ascom to C# application

[blinky]

Hi,

Been years since Ive done any programming, I’m looking at writing some code to control a roll of roof but I also want to be able to check EQMod to see if the mount is parked and ideally get my application to park the mount.  I know the very basics of .Net, so assume I want to instantiate (is that the word?) an instance of EQMod and call  something like isparked() - anybody know how I accomplish this in C# .Net?

I think what you really need to do is take a look at making a call with C# .Net to ASCOM, https://ascom-standards.org/Downloads/DevSamples.htm or INDI or INDIGO https://sourceforge.net/projects/indisharp/ so that you can get the information from EQMOD. That is what I would do.

Cool,will have a look. I also found Tom How who I think is a member on here, has a you tube video on how to create a VB .Net app, that also might be useful
