panoptes.pocs.mount.ioptron.base module

Base implementation for iOptron serial mounts.

Provides common parsing, initialization, parking, and coordinate conversion used by specific iOptron models (e.g., CEM40, HAE16, iEQ30Pro).

class panoptes.pocs.mount.ioptron.base.Mount(location, mount_version=None, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: AbstractSerialMount

Mount class for iOptron mounts.

initialize(set_rates=True, unpark=False, *arg, **kwargs)

Initialize the connection with the mount and setup for location.

iOptron mounts are initialized by sending the following two commands to the mount:

• MountInfo

If the mount is successfully initialized, the _setup_location_for_mount method is also called.

Returns:

Returns the value from self.is_initialized.

Return type:

bool

property is_home

Mount home status.

park(ra_direction=None, ra_seconds=None, dec_direction=None, dec_seconds=None, *args, **kwargs)

Slews to the park position and parks the mount.

This still uses a custom park command because the mount will not allow the Declination axis to move below 0 degrees.

Note

When mount is parked no movement commands will be accepted.

Parameters:

• ra_direction (str or None) – The direction to move the RA axis. If not provided (the default), then look at config setting, otherwise ‘west’.

• ra_seconds (str or None) – The number of seconds to move the RA axis at maximum move speed. If not provided (the default), then look at config setting, otherwise 15 seconds.

• dec_direction (str or None) – The direction to move the Declination axis. If not provided (the default), then look at config setting, otherwise ‘north’.

• dec_seconds (str or None) – The number of seconds to move the Declination axis at maximum move speed. If not provided (the default), then look at config setting, otherwise 15 seconds.

Returns:

indicating success

Return type:

bool

set_rates(alt_limit: float | str | None = None, meridian_treatment: str = '015', button_moving_rate: int = 9)

Set the mount rates.

Parameters:

• alt_limit (float, str, None) – Altitude limit in degrees or string with sign.

• meridian_treatment (str) – Meridian treatment. Default is ‘015’.

• button_moving_rate (int) – Button moving rate. Default is 9.

Returns:

None

panoptes.pocs.mount.ioptron.cem40 module

iOptron CEM40 mount driver wrapper.

Specializes the ioptron.base Mount with CEM40-specific homing and target coordinate behaviors.

class panoptes.pocs.mount.ioptron.cem40.Mount(location, mount_version='0040', *args, **kwargs)

Bases: Mount

search_for_home()

Search for the home position.

This method uses the internal homing pin on the mount to return the mount to the home (or zero) position.

set_target_coordinates(*args, **kwargs)

After setting target coordinates, check number of positions.

The newer mounts can determine if there are 0, 1, or 2 possible positions for the given RA/Dec, with the latter being the case for the meridian flip.

Parameters:

• *args – Positional arguments passed through to BaseMount.set_target_coordinates, typically the target SkyCoord.

• **kwargs – Keyword arguments passed through to BaseMount.set_target_coordinates.

Returns:

True if the target coordinates are set successfully and at least one valid position exists; False otherwise.

Return type:

bool

panoptes.pocs.mount.ioptron.hae16 module

iOptron HAE16 mount wrapper reusing the CEM40 base behavior.

class panoptes.pocs.mount.ioptron.hae16.Mount(location, mount_version='0012', *args, **kwargs)

Bases: Mount

iOptron HAE16 model-specific Mount shim.

Simply sets the expected mount_version and otherwise relies on BaseMount/CEM40 behavior.

panoptes.pocs.mount.ioptron.ieq30pro module

iOptron iEQ30Pro mount wrapper leveraging the shared iOptron base.

class panoptes.pocs.mount.ioptron.ieq30pro.Mount(location, mount_version='0030', *args, **kwargs)

Bases: Mount

iOptron iEQ30Pro model-specific Mount wrapper.
