I continue to have problems in setting up the POTH rotation.
I have installed the following:
1) ASCOM Platform 6.4 SP1
2) Arduino.ini
3) PDM Dome Setup.exe
When entering the PDM Dome and PDM Shutter I get the following errors:
Rotator Error
Arduino: 1.8.8 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
PDMRotator:22:26: error: RotatorClass.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
exit status 1
RotatorClass.h: No such file or directory
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
Shutter Error
Arduino: 1.8.8 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
PDMShutter:44:29: error: PDMShutterClass.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Exit status 1
PDMShutterClass.h: No such file or directory
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
I have confirmed the proper COM port and have attempted to Rotator unit to POTH. I the screen shows that it is connecting, but it never finishes the connection.
Any assistance on or off line would be appreciated.
best way will be to allow babak or someone (I'd take a try) into your machine with team viewer. its free install it and it will give you a pw. and computer ID. If you share that with someone you trust you can let them in to configure your machine as if they're sitting at your keyboard.
you say the error refers to a Arduino UNO <----- next dome doesn't use the uno board. It uses the Leonardo boards. check under tools in the arduino software and make sure
it shows (choose) leonardo board and verify your com port. Don't pick the UNO in the list.
Ok, hopefully you can post the screenshot here so we can help you.
Thanks, I will see what I can do. I am hoping that Babak will assist.
How do you get error about file that are for the firmware in the ACOM setup/install !?
Can we have some screenshot as none of this sound normal.
You should only need to install PDMDome0523Setup.exe present in the PDMDome0523Setup.zip from there : https://github.com/pmeloy/NexDome/releases
The other files are for developers and unless you're working on the firmware they are of no use for you.
Also this ASCOM driver only works with version 0.5.2.2 and 0.5.2.3 of the firmware (which is what you should have).
