BYE 3rd-party API used as basis for ASCOM.DSLR Driver

[s3igell]

I don't know how much success this Project is having, as I have not tested it.

But the author describes one of his Connection Paths for his ASCOM.DSLR Driver as "using BackyardEOS 3rd-party API".

I've pinned this thread so it remains at the top of the forum conversations.  Let see how far it gets.  Very interesting!

Guylain,

I'm getting an error on the link.  After 2 years, has it died?

I'm not associated at all with this project, I have no clue about its status.

It appears that the ASCOM.DSLR project has gone through some changes - including a new Developer.

Thanks, S3igell.  Here is the direct link to the Github site:  https://github.com/FearL0rd/ASCOM.DSLR.

Looks like the new developer moved away from the BYE API but it is hard to tell.  Definitely not full featured like BYE but interesting nonetheless.  I can see using it for the PA routines in SharpCap (hint, hint, Guylain) but I still prefer BYE for imaging when using the DSLR.
