Meade protocol for accessing all the control functions of Meade telescopes is accessed via a serial RS232 port and a table of these commands is available from Meade. Many other telescope controls eg. Gemini 1 also use the Meade protocol for communication
I have written many programs firstly in basic as described in the LX200 series manuals and later converting these to QB64(Gl) so that they run on 64 bit platforms to access various control functions.
No matter what your preferred programming language the requests sent to the telescope and the replies received are universal so go to it and write some code.
