About ascom-standards.org
In the early days of computer-assisted astronomy, devices came with their own "computer control" (usually ASCII over RS-232).One such protocol was the so-called LX-200 standard, derived from the commands published by Meade Instruments Corporation for use with their Meade LX-200 series of telescopes. The LX-200 protocol was copied by other mount makers so their mounts would run with apps that spoke "LX200". But each mount maker eventually customized their mount's ASCII commands because their mounts had unique features, so these protocols diverged and became unique. Other high-end mounts had their own unique ASCII or TCP/IP protocols from the outset.
