npm install dwarfii_api
The Dwarf API uses websockets. The URL of the websockets depends on if you use Dwarf wifi or if you use the Dwarf in STA mode.
Example of sending a Goto command using the Dwarf wifi.
`js
import { startGoto, wsURL, DwarfIP, socketSend } from "dwarfii_api";
const socket = new WebSocket(wsURL(DwarfIP));
socket.addEventListener("open", () => {
let planet = null;
let RA = 10.6;
let dec = 41.2;
let lat = 40.0;
let lon = 90.0;
let options = startGoto(planet, RA, dec, lat, lon);
socketSend(socket, options);
});
socket.addEventListener("message", (event) => {
let message = JSON.parse(event.data);
console.log(message);
});
socket.addEventListener("error", (message) => {
console.log("error:", message);
});
`
Example of sending a take astro photos command using the Dwarf in STA mode. You need to provide the IP of your Dwarf II.
`js
import {
wsURL,
socketSend,
binning2x2,
takeAstroPhoto,
fileFits,
} from "dwarfii_api";
let myIP = "192.123.45.6";
const socket = new WebSocket(wsURL(myIP));
socket.addEventListener("open", () => {
let RA = 10.6;
let dec = 41.2;
let exposure = 10;
let gain = 60;
let count = 100;
let options = takeAstroPhoto(
RA,
dec,
exposure,
gain,
binning2x2,
count,
fileFits
);
socketSend(socket, options);
});
socket.addEventListener("message", (event) => {
let message = JSON.parse(event.data);
console.log(message);
});
socket.addEventListener("error", (message) => {
console.log("error:", message);
});
