If it is, it’s safe, if not, not safe, or however you want to do it. Or hell, you don’t even need to read the file…just see if it’s there. Then, all you have to do is, say, set a text file somewhere, and tell that ASCOM driver “Read the text file every _ seconds”, and flip that property based on the contents. Read your cloud sensor, poll the google news API to see if aliens have landed, whatever. You can write whatever you want, however you want, to monitor anything you want. Everything else can be handled completely external to it…in other words, how you determine “is it safe?” is entirely up to you. The thing really only does one thing : Set an IsSafe property to TRUE or FALSE. the boltwood driver here which includes all the code. I actually played with…gah, I wanna say it’s work?. I’d be chuffed to add a cloud sensor to it…that’s the one really nice thing to have that hitting a “weather report” doesn’t really cover. Or, just issue a pull request in the dev branch of the code, and we’ll figure it out. If you get something working w/ the Phidget, let me know. I’ve pondered the idea of maybe covering it with a little bit of plastic or something on a servo, and swinging the cover out of the way with a servo…but that project has yet to progress beyond the “Hrm, i wonder if…” stage.Īny chance you would be motivated to update your code with the phidget support The question I’ve NEVER seen appropriate answered though is this : What happens when that temp sensor gets covered with dew? Yep, that’s a pretty common method for cloud detection. Quick and excellent cloud sensor for astro imaging. I love that description, and am using it from now on! ![]() I don’t claim to be a “programmer” (at least not since the 80’s) but I can usually sling syntax (in whatever language) at something to bend it to my will
