Roll of roof

[ekempen]

Hello,
I am using ACP on a trial and if everything works fine I am going to use ACP Basic.
I cannot find a way to use my current roll of roof system in ACP.


For opening and closing my roll of roof I am using 2 Python scripts.
These Python scripts are run on a Raspberry PI.
I have 3 magnet switches to check for roof close, roof open and telescope parked, these are checked via the GPIO pins on the Raspberry PI.


To open the roof:
If roof = closed and telescope = parked than the power to the garage door opener is switched on and a pulse is sent via a small relay (controlled by the Raspberry PI) to the garage door opener motor and the roof is opened.


During the session the power to the garage door opener stays on.


To close the roof:
If roof = open and telescope = parked a pulse is sent via a small relay to the garage door opener motor, the roof is closed and the power to the garage door opener is switched off.


Can this be used in ACP or do I need another solution to achieve opening and closing of the roof?


Kind regards,
Emiel Kempen.

Hello,

I am now using the LesvedomeNet ASCOM driver with the Velleman K8055N board.
Opening and closing of the roll of roof is working fine.

Kind regards,
