Features

Creating Nexstar commands to send them to the telescope and parsing the responses.

Getting started

install by adding the package to your pubspec.yaml file or by command

pub add nexstar

Usage

Most commands are implemented in the NexstarCommandFactory class. Use it to build the command you want to send to the telescope.

This example shows how to send a command to the telescope to move to a specific RA/DEC position.

import 'package:nexstar/nexstar.dart';

void main() {
  NexstarCommand cmd=NexstarCommandFactory.buildGotoRaDecCommand(10, 88, false);
  print("Send to telescope: {$cmd.commandData}");
  VoidResponse response = cmd.parseResponse("#") as VoidResponse;
  print("Response success: ${response.success}");
}
