Voyager 2.2.6 Release + WebDashboard 1.0.12 beta

Another big update for Voyager, with many new features introduced, is ready to download in automatic or manual mode.

In this version:
⦁ [New] Added Telescope Slew LOCK mechanism (Abort of Goto) based on the status of one of the Viking digital inputs (Setting in the Viking setup tab)
⦁ [New] Added a new “Decimal Number Update from Focuser Position” block in DragScript to insert the current position of the focuser in a variable
⦁ [New] Added a new “RoboFire Focuser Move from Variable” block in DragScript to move the focuser to the position indicated in a variable
⦁ [New] Updated internal Web Server with Dashboard version 1.0.12 beta
⦁ [New] New Serial TX block added to send data string to a device on serial port via DragScript
⦁ [New] Added flag in RoboFire configuration to not apply final offset if present on the LocalField method
⦁ [New] Introduced the possibility in RoboSync to use an algorithm for calculating the Slave position of the Dome compatible with that used in the ASCOM POTH
⦁ [New] Added RemoteFocusInject method in the Application Server to remotely inject a focus request with the filter indicated in case of Sequence in progress
⦁ [New] Added AutoFocusResult event on the Application Server to communicate the data of the AutoFocus just finished to the Dashboard type clients
⦁ [New] Added RemoteSetProfile method in the Application Server to change the setup Profile remotely
⦁ [New] Added ProfileChanged event on the Application Server to communicate to clients the change of Profile Setup
⦁ [New] Added in DragScript the possibility of using Jolly strings to print environment values ​​and the contents of variables such as ##INTERNAL-IP## for the list of internal ip, ##EXTERNAL-IP## for the IP on the public network, ##NOW## for the current date and time and ##VAR-## for the content of the variable with the name
⦁ [New] Custom Array -> The various Sequence actions available have been traced back to a single SCArraySequenceMix action with all the available options
⦁ [New] Added mosaic management of Voyager Virtual FOV
⦁ [New] Custom Array -> The management of the Meridian Flip has been added to the Sequence in the same way as the Sequence for single Setup
⦁ [New] Custom Array -> Unguided dithering has been added to the Sequence every x exposure or every x minutes
⦁ [New] Custom Array -> Focus was added every x minutes as well as every x exposure
⦁ [New] Custom Array -> It is possible to tie the x exposure of Dithering and Focus to a single node of your choice, to the first node that reaches them, to the fact that all the nodes reach the minimum of x exposure indicated to perform dithering or focus
⦁ [Mod] The minimum tolerance value for the azimuth position of the dome before performing the slew has been brought to 1.0 ° to avoid stalling the dome when updating
⦁ [Mod] Modified the end-of-slew signal of the mount intended for the RoboSync management thread to avoid stalls in updating the azimuth
⦁ [Mod] Modified management of PHD2 calibration to avoid false calibration message performed outside Voyager
⦁ [Mod] In the RoboClip it is now possible to sort the targets also for descending and ascending RA
⦁ [Mod] The RemoteRoboClipGetTargetList method of recovering RoboClip data in the Application Server now has the possibility to order also for RA (desc and asc)
⦁ [Mod] RoboSync has been changed from Beta to Production
⦁ [Mod] Voyager’s SC Observatory section has been renamed to Custom Array
⦁ [Mod] Custom Array -> The LocalField focus action was brought to work on the default filters for the fire and subsequent offset as for the focus on a single star
⦁ [Mod] Custom Array -> Simplified OnTheFly interfaces for configuring focus parameters on the whole array for RoboStar and LocalField
⦁ [Mod] RoboClip database modified to version 3 to manage Virtual FOV mosaic in new data
⦁ [Mod] Modified Application Server commands related to RoboClip to manage the new Virtual FOV mosaic data
⦁ [Mod] Custom Array -> The name of the FIT files now takes into account the Label and the filter name in a mutually exclusive way
⦁ [Bug] The DragScript Emergency Suspend event block did not have the popup menu configuration item activated
⦁ [Bug] The self-selection of the guiding time for PHD2 was no longer working (for driving time equal to 0s)
⦁ [Bug] The sequence directory was not overridden if target name override was requested in the DragScript sequence block
⦁ [Bug] It was not possible to select files with the .fits extension for the plate solving of referenced FIT files from OnTheFly

WebDashboard 1.0.12 beta
⦁ [Virtual FoV] Mosaic Planning and RoboClip Integration
⦁ [Virtual FoV] Advanced Mosaic drawing with rotation correction
⦁ [Virtual FoV] Alert when using FoV profile different from Voyager connected profile (selected by menu or loaded with Mosaic data from RoboClip)
⦁ [Virtual FoV] Increased Aladin window size and space optimization for toolkit
⦁ [Virtual FoV] Mosaic Copy to Clipboard from main view and from RoboClip Tiles List detail window
⦁ [Virtual FoV] RoboClip web interface animation improved for better UX
⦁ [MOD] JSON parse Error Handling
⦁ [MOD] Increased main interface size reducing footer
