Robin - I have continued to work with and look up references for ASCOM.DSLR - I found an older forum topic : In this way you can use another application to capture images from a camera that is not supported by SharpCap and save them to disk and then SharpCap will process those images perhaps into live stacking each time a new images added. What you can do with the latest version of SharpCap is use a feature called the folder monitor camera which will watch a selected folder for new image files being added to it.
#Apt vs backyardeos software
SharpCap isn't designed to talk to other pieces of imaging software like APT or DigicamControl directly.
#Apt vs backyardeos driver
SharpCap can also talk to cameras that have a direct show driver (which probably includes your MallinCam) but with less advanced functionality and also to cameras that have an Ascom driver again with less control over the camera. SharpCap can talk to certain types of camera directly (for instance ZWO, QHY, Altair, etc). I believe the SDK option is the correct one to use. SharpCap talks to the Ascom.DSLR driver which then has the sub options to talk to the camera via various different routes. The Canon SDK option is a sub option of the Ascom.DSLR driver. Try running the build.bat file in the top-level directory. When I last built the Ascom.DSLR code, the main DLL and all its supporting libraries were built into the top-level bin folder (the one in the same folder as the solution file). Programs and still see the camera connection listed where does Sharpcap recognize camera connection/libraries/dll in the "Camera" option - I have tried uninstalling In the SharpCap "Camera" option - I have tried MallinCam(listed and working), SparkoCam(listed and working),ĪSCOM.DSLR(listed but not working), DigiCamControl(not listed), APT(not listed), AstroArt7(not listed) -Īll of the above programs connect to my Canon 70D and display LiveView in the native program?Ĥ. I have tried several camera connection programs and only see some of the installed programs listed How can I use the ASCOM driver for DSLR if it is not listed here? - does the default connection methodĬanonSDK override the ASCOM.DSLR driver option?ģ. without connecting to the Canon DSLR if I start Sharpcap and select Camera>ASCOM camera driver for DSLR -Ī DSLR Setup box is displayed - the Connection method displays several options - the default is CanonSDK. I have tried to compile in Visual Studio and get error no - I do not see this DLLĢ. On GitHub and that you probably do not have time to investigate more - however I was hoping that youĬan provide me with more info to point me in the right direction - I hope you will answer my questions
#Apt vs backyardeos update
Thank you for the previous reply - I understand that you have tried and posted an update to ASCOM.DSLR
