Baader Dome - Slaving not working

Hi Jasem,
I'm currently implementing the Baader Dome driver into my home made dome. Previously I have used both MaxdomeII and Dome Scripting Gateway drivers successfully. I had a problem with Baader dome in as much that whilst all commanded rotation and shutter movements worked fine I found that Slaving wouldn't work when enabled. Doing comparisons between the Dome Simulator source code and the Baader source code I added the following code from the Simulator source to the Baader source and this resolved my issue. Perhaps you could look at this when you have time . It might help others who experience this issue. For info I was testing with Telescope Simulator.

./ added this to the end of void BaaderDome::TimerHit()
// Not all mounts update ra/dec constantly if tracking co-ordinates
// This is to ensure our alt/az gets updated even if ra/dec isn't being updated
// Once every 10 seconds is more than sufficient
// with this added, dome simulator will now correctly track telescope simulator
// which does not emit new ra/dec co-ords if they are not changing
if (!isParked() && TimeSinceUpdate++ > 9)
{
TimeSinceUpdate = 0;
UpdateMountCoords();
}

Hope this is useful.

Ah thanks.. this could explain another issue another user reported for NexDome.. I think this is a universal issue that needs to be resolved at the INDI::Dome level, thanks for reporting!
