LFEP ASCOM driver
ASCOM driver for Littlefoot Elegance Photo (LFEP) mount controller.
I started the development in 2009 and maintained it until end of 2012. It includes additional functionality for the LFEP, only available through the ASCOM driver, like:
- Automatic and manual meridian flip support
- Controller independet parking position; automatic re-alignment after power loss
- ASCOM pulseguide support
- ASCOM focuser driver
- ASCOM camera driver for DSLR shutter
- ASCOM filter wheel driver
- ASCOM compatible roll-off roof motor driver (additional hardware needed)
- Driver for optional dew heater controller
- Encoder support with automatic synchronization
- Safety options: Horizon limit, max. slew distance
- Auto stop tracking after passing merdian (in tracking direction)
- Option to track beyond the meridan (independed from flip delay)
- Remote mode for reduced traffic
- Directly connects to LAN interface without additional programs

Lunatico Firefly ASCOM scripts
ASCOM compliant scripts to control a roll-of roof motor. Now included in the example folder of the Seletek/Firefly software.
TL Dimmer v2 control program
Windows command line utility to manage a „TL-Dimmer V2“ flatfield panel controller by Teleskopladen.de
Command line arguments are compatible to FlipFlat/Flatman’s aacmd.exe control program, so this tool can be used in automation tools like CCDAutoPilot and ACP 7
