My BATCH Script

#1

Post by JesusRL »

Hi all,

When I first started testing SharpCap to be my imaging software I choose it because of a controversal, but at the sane time coherent, aspect:

It was very simple in the interface compared with (for me) disturbing fancy modern interfaces but ...
was extremelly powerfull in the scripting aspect

I program in any language as a hobby (I have a logical mind), but in none at same time as I don't have the formal knowledge (as a starting point). I started searching for info on how to make use of all the power suplied by the ironpython embeded in SharpCap but, sincerelly, it was not an easy task. I did not find practically any example of the (I'm sure exist) many powerfull scripts that must be running out there. IMHO examples work better than explanations.

Sadly I took the same path and developed for my own use a couple of scripts that I find very usefull for my DSO imaging tasks but kept them for my own use.

May they be an example for some learning scripters as me I will do my bit uploading them to this forum, also in the wish of seeing some others with solved functions that may inspire me.

Here we go with the first one. It will be surely full of inefficient programing roundabouts but it works for its purpose (any improvements or comments on how to make it cleaner are greatlly appreciated).

This formal script will:

* Create a button (with a funny icon) that will call the script dialog; on closing it will, instead, hide, so you can call it again .. and again from the button
* Make a series of images at given temperature, exposure time and gain
* Betwen frames it can:
* Dither via PHD2
* Check temperature (two different ways: file created by TEMPer unit and ASCOM interface: may you need help on this just ask)
* If temp threshold is achieved it can move focus proportionally to a given amount or autofocus (pending)
* PHD2 can be paused, a fixed amount of time, during focusing to avoid the crazyness of moving a primary mirror
* Once finished it can warmup the camera, park the telescope and close the dome(pending)

Use it, modify it, get solutions or inspiration from it.

By the way Robin It has stoped working in the new ver 3.2.6457 due to a problem in the base libraries:

ImportError: No module named socket

Jesus,

I enjoyed reading your code. Very well-structured, and makes maximal use of the Windows Forms library.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,

I had no idea on using forms (well not many) and to be fair I have to credit delattj for the base of it:

But it is sad all the way I had to do to find it, being this i't's natural place

That's weird that it has stopped working in the latest version - I don't think I have changed anything related to scripting.

I see the same problem, so will investigate.

This is one of those cases where I can't see how 'import socket' ever worked - the socket.py file was missing from the library and had been (as far as I can tell) since the beginning of time... On the other hand it *did* work as I got it to work in an old version :shock:

Anyway, please can you try this version to see if it helps

https://d.sharpcap.co.uk/download.html? ... 0&arch=x64
https://d.sharpcap.co.uk/download.html? ... 3.2.6462.0

I have also updated IronPython from 2.7.9 to 2.7.11 and fixed an odd bug that occurs on some machines (mine) when opening scripting from the installed version of the software.

Hi Robin,

'import socket' works for me, but I am running SharpCap 3.1, second to last patch.

Hello Robin,

Interesting ... you update IronPython to the 2.7.11 version.
I install the 3.2.6462 version. All is working properly.

Do you have a look to the IronLab version ?
It was, in the past, a discussion about the "simple" Python libraries missing in IronPython.


Regards,
Jean-Francois

Hi,

a few of the price and files from the standard libraries had been accidentally omitted from my source control system and unfortunately even when I added new copies it wasn't reporting them as being new files, so I never spotted that they had gone missing. This is now resolved, both in terms of making sure the files are there and also making sure that it shouldn't happen again in the future.

I use a customised version of IronLab, so I don't really follow the updates on the underlying open source version.

Cheers, Robin
