Thanks.
I understand the concept that Ek's box stores alt/az positional information and sends it to the PC when called, but how exactly is this sent, is it in binary? The Ek's box has ascom drivers, but is the driver actually used for the bartels system?
I know I don't have to reinvent the wheel, but I've designed a circuit similar to Ek's box using a picaxe which can output position values down to arc secs either to LCD or as binary.
Hence the question on how ek's box talks to the software and how it relays positional values.
