This tutorial describes how to setup the tool chain for programming client applications against the ASCOM astronomy programming platform in Visual Studio.
We setup our computer to use the ASCOM platform, and create a simple client application that connects to a telescope, reads some properties and calls a few methods for Park and GOTO.

This tutorial describes how to setup the tool chain for programming ASCOM drivers using the ASCOM astronomy programming platform in Visual Studio. We also use the visual micro plugin for visual studio to program the Arduino
We setup our computer to use the ASCOM platform and also the tools to program Arduino from the visual studio IDE. We create a simulated filter wheel program and upload it to the Arduino. We create a matching ASCOM filter wheel driver and show the whole thing working with a client application. Complete ASCOM driver programming. We also show how to debug ASCOM drivers and deploy them to customers.
We've used a filter wheel as an example but the tutorial applies to any ASCOM device, such as focusers or telescope mounts.

This tutorial describes how to setup the tool chain for programming Arduino in Visual studio using the visual micro plugin.
We create a simple program in the Arduino that sends text down the serial port, and a simple windows program in visual studio that receives these serial messages.
