Alpyca is a Python 3.7+ library package for app developers who want to access astronomy devices via Alpaca and also devices on Windows (using ASCOM/COM, and using ASCOM Remote). Installs via pip -install alpyca. Documentation is posted here.Developed by Mark Sproul, who is responsible for support. AlpacaPi is complete suite of Alpaca drivers and clients supporting a broad range of cameras, filter wheels etc. The client side includes controllers for most Alpaca/ASCOM devices and includes a full integrated planetarium program. Use individual components or the whole suite. Works with standard ASCOM drivers and clients. All open source in C/C++. The ASCOM Platform 6 contains developer templates for Visual Studio and all types of drivers in both C#.NET and VisualBasic.NET. If you're developing a driver using .NET, it is strongly recommended that you use the relevant template. The Platform also contains an interface toolkit for astronomy software developers who want to use drivers from .NET.
Java sources showing how to use ASCOM from the Java language. Requires the JACOB COM to Java Bridge. This is a Java source file contained in a zip archive. Thanks to Nicolās de Hilster for this contribution.A Visual Studio C# project that shows how to use the ASCOM .NET Client Toolkit. This is a console application which contains code that access each type of driver, using the chooser and pre-selecting the simulator for each. Some info is printed out to the console window.
