I've been searching around for this but haven't found much.

The Bisque Paramounts are controlled by The Sky X, which has a scriptable API that is exposed through a TCP server. The mount can be controlled almost completely via this API by feeding javascript commands to this TCP server. Reference here:

www.bisque.com/scriptTheSkyX/

Others are already doing this by direct interaction. I'm curious as to whether there is an ability to write an INDI "driver" that abstracts this API and would allow mount control INDI clients to control the Paramounts just as they would any other mount. This is especially interesting with TSX about to be released as a Raspberry Pi appliance, such that the Pi basically becomes a smart replacement for a hand controller with brains.

I found some information on page rts2.org/wiki/hw:start

This appears to be a direct implementation of the Bisque protocol, intended to bypass The Sky X. I'm more looking for a way to control a Paramount via the scripting interface of TSX such that the mount can be controlled by INDI clients. For example, I'd love for it to be able to ask TSX to perform a closed-loop slew to an object, and let TSX reply with success or fail.

This is interesting. If you need help developing an INDI Mount driver, let me know. So you just open a socket to the TCP server and start sending and receiving javascript? Have you tried this yourself? What are the commands necessary for a basic mount control?

Yes, it's that simple. I have tried it - it works. In fact, you can even run the camera, filter wheel, and focuser this way, start up guiding, etc. I have seen some others automate the mount this way using bash scripts. I started framing something out in Python, but the INDI approach is much more interesting to me.

I'll get you some example snippets ASAP. Yes, I can use some help. I don't know C/C++ at all, not sure I'm up for diving in with those. Thanks!

Sure, let's see the example stuff first and then proceed from there.
