Roll off Roof - Shutter check

Voyager Equipment Setup & Compatibility

Hi Leo
There’s an option in SetupForm for Dome configuration that checks for Shutter status before implementing a GoTo.

Is it possible to make this flag available in DragScript? I have a very basic - ASCOM compatible - RoR which just reports Open/Close. I would like to be able to read off the Shutter status before implementing specific actions within DragScript if possible.

At the moment, I open my RoR at the beginning of a session and it closes at the end of it or when suspended/emergency exit. If I restart a DragScript not from the start I need to watch out for the Open/Close Dome instruction or Voyager will try to open an opened Dome or close a closed one.

This is not critical but would be a nice to have option in DragScript.

Thank you

Roberto

Hello Roberto,

I was scared about to add to dragscript like mode to understand if roof is open or closed , some driver report only logical status obtained interally by software and not reading directly to I/O…so with Viking you can do this without problem in DrgScript.

I will add but with a big disclaimer … a double check info is needed in this case to avoid damage.

All the best

For you info open a opened or close a closed one isn’t a problem.
Normal driver check status before run action. You can check in daylight your driver between automate it.

All the best
