Setting up ASCOM and SiTech on Windows

Some notes on how to set up the ASCOM server with the F1 controller on Windows without virtualisation.

  • Install Windows 11 on a fresh machine. Use username mro and the usual password.
  • Install ASCOM Alpaca from here.
  • Install the SiTech software (check for new versions). This will install .NET if it is not present in the system.
  • Install the FTD3XX drivers and setup ASCOM as described in the README.
  • Configure the ASCOM server to run on boot following these instructions.
  • Configure Windows to log in automatically following these instructions. Otherwise the server will not start until someone logs in manually.
  • Install OpenSSH Server toallow to connect from a remote machine. There are the only instructions I could find that seem to work. Note that you'll need to enable runnin scripts with Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned and for the &sc.exe commands remove the amperstand.
  • Enable remote access.
  • Disable automatic updates (seems hard, but there are some notes here).
  • Never again install or touch anything in this computer!
