The ASCOM Initiative has created a new web site that is meant to provide public outreach to help generate awareness and interest in Alpaca and ASCOM Universal APIs for astronomical devices. It is non-technical, focusing on the fact that Alpaca is designed to overcome two common problem areas with astronomy connectivity: (1) USB, the number one source of pain in astronomy, and (2) Classic ASCOM drivers. While an Alpaca device can have a separate driver, the long term goal is for devices to have the Alpaca interface built-in and providing the network API to apps directly with no driver or USB. Driverless, USB-less. Look at the product showcase to see what devices already do this, You may be surprised: https://ascom-alpaca.org/ Please note that the ASCOM Initiative is 100% volunteer, handles no money, and provides technology and support pro bono.  |
