2.5. Used as Goto Control System Only
SETUP MANAGING SOFTWARE RESIDING IN EXTERNAL PC. STARGO2 AS A MERE
COMMANDS EXECUTOR (for N.I.N.A., SGP habitual users)
The method described above involves, as said at the beginning, the use of a tablet or a computer
but only as a way to access to the Raspberry desktop, to perform all the described operations with
kStars, EKOS and all other applications directly on the Raspberry. This connection may be realized
with WIFI, for smartphone and tablet, and WiFi or Ethernet for PCs.
The method described in this section differs only by the fact that the applications used to control
the mount and to perform all the astro-photographic operations, reside on a remote computer,
once again connected to the StarGO2 wireless through WIFI or wired via Ethernet cable, being the
second preferred due to higher speed and reliability. The software programs proven with the
StarGO2 with this method are the same already described.
The advantage of this method for the Windows PC users is that they can still use their ASCOM
based applications as they did with other conventional control systems. A further advantage is
that the PC may be based, as well as on Windows, also on Mac or Linux operating systems. For this
two OS, however, still remains the limitation of the availability of some applications available only
for Windows OS.
The logic diagram of connection with this method is given in this picture:
