Dear All,
I have to make linux-i386, linux-arm and win-xt computers to communicate
together for the instrumentation of a small farm of robotic telescops -
telescope control, camera control, image analysis and "chef
d'orchestre", with remote access.
What's win-xt in this context?
Can I use the same sockets unit for linux and windows systems ? Is this
not too hard ? I'd like to use the same source code on all these
machines - i.e. no specializations.
Should be common code, animated by a thread. I tend to focus on
Linux/unix, working from memory- and this isn't recent so things might
have changed- the only significant difference was in the details of some
name resolution stuff.
However my suggestion would be to look for a pre-existing protocol,
either a telescope control protocol even if it only exists on serial
connections (I was thinking INDI there, but it already appears to be
networked) or a suitable XML-based instrumentation protocol (I wasn't
thinking INDI, but it appears to fall into that category :-)
I'd say that a Pascal translation of the INDI headers would be in
everybody's interest.
