Hello Dez, Thanks for the reply - I was hoping to hear from your project. It will be interesting to see what John Lucey is doing before I go too far along - I hate re-inventing the wheel. I was wondering why the directory was simply empty. I will try to email him, if I can. I suspect that he also implemented a useful sub-set of the protocol.
My basic idea was a comprehensive set of commands, and as many convenience functions as we desire - it is an exercise in Pythonic-ness as well, so I'd like to see design issues agreed on early. I also am thinking of getting place and time from my PCMCIA GPS (I have a 10" non-GPS LX200 EMC).
