Audio notifications

Hi .

It would be really useful if errors or failures in a sequence at any stage could have an audio file associated . I can see emails can be configured and there is a notification centre but apart from an audio file to be played on sequence completion there is not much…

For example ( think robotic voice lol )

" Lost Guide star "
" Filter wheel , Camera , Mount timeout "

Regards Trevor

Good suggestion. We’ll consider it.

Thanks , yes silent warnings can be missed. I have a folder monitor that lets me know when SGP downloads the next sub in the sequence. And a ping apps that gives a heads up if the remote pc goes off line using audio notifications.

I’ll go for that too

Might I add the idea of being able to assign, for example, a custom .wav to these audio warning(s) ?

SGP could include default ones but customizing them could be fun for the user, also, this could save the Dev’s from supplying loads of audio files in different languages too

:smiley:

Excellent idea - I use the equivalent in EQMOD which would be good model for the SGP audio support. EQMOD certainly improves Observatory safety - I get an audio warning when the telescope is starting a slew to next target for example - makes sure you not in the wrong place when 60+ lbs of telescope and counterweights is on the move!

George,
One would have to be careful though with your 60+ lb’er…

If EQMOD blurted out something and SGP blurted out something else at the same time you would freeze on the spot, say “huh ? ? ?” and your 60+ Lb would smash you in the head while giggling at you

:rofl:
