Hi Paul
Glad that you can join us again, it has been since Feb 6 that we
have heard from you.?
I know that the Gemini ASCOM group is really keeping you busy. (I
monitor that one also)
For the New Comer to this group, Paul has modified the ASCOM
Gemini.net driver to provide Ethernet web interface, just like you
would be using a USB port, or serial port, but now you can use
Ethernet.
With this interface, you can use any ASCOM compliant device that can
communicate with the Gemini.net driver.? That way you can have the
ASCOM driver talking to the Gemini, and also all the Gemini 2 native
screens up also.? His driver in in the files section?
We look forward to when he pops in from time to time, as he is a
wealth of knowledge.

Wired Ethernet and wireless wi-fi can all be used with
G2 (with optional wireless adapters).?
TheSky will work over serial or USB, and will also work
over Ethernet/wi-fi if you use the TeleAPI plugin to
connect using ASCOM driver.

Aside from the interesting look web interface, I'm
curious how Gemini II is conceived to be controlled
by a planetarium program like theSky? Is the idea we
connect via USB? I really like the idea of ethernet
and a web server, but I'm not sure how useful that
is going to be, particularly if it has to be a wired
connection with a router. Well, maybe that's great
for installations, but for portable mounts the
application/value is less clear to me.
Cheers
Brian
