Where xxx is the local network IP address of the camera and #### the port assigned to it. username and password are also specific to each user.
Quite a few observatories house these cameras to monitor equipment. Would it be possible to add the ability to control IPCams and switch on/off their IR lights during a sequence (on whilst slewing / off when imaging)?
Thanks
you can use external script in Voyager to do this and you can put in DragScript. I think you use the first time slewing and off before start sequence.
Create a vbs file with this:
Dim objRequest
Dim URL
Set objRequest = CreateObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”)
URL = “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:####/decoder_control.cgi?command=94&user=username&pwd=password”
objRequest.open “POST”, URL , false
objRequest.Send
Set objRequest = Nothing
You can try to create one for the ON e one for the OFF and just call like external escript
From onthefly you can use the action run external dragscript if you want to do manually
Thank you. As soon as I posted my request, I thought about the ability of Voyager to run scripts such as the above in between actions.
I hope the weather cooperates soon so I can try it more. Last night I managed to test the focusing routines and they are really fast and consistent.
Thanks again
