Sorry - I thought ASCOM Web delivered the same interoperability between PC and mobile platforms over the web using JSON.
I did not suggest that. Many astro companies are small and do not have huge resources. They are dependent upon a few individuals to do their coding. SGP is one of them. With a list of feature requests just gone through a poll, I was suggesting that it might divide those resources. I also went on to say that if it demonstrates an operational advantage, other than saving a few quid on a processor board, then fine. I have four patents to my name. I know about innovation but I also know about the hard reality of making a business with those bright ideas. I am one of those to love playing with new hardware and up for a challenge. The biggest challenge of all is getting astrophotography to the masses, with less customer operational error and improved ease of use.
Does INDI achieve that? or does it create a different set of (interesting) issues for some and frustration for others.
