A Control Framework for RTS2 Based on the WeChat Micro-program

The independent control of telescope is an important part of modern astronomical observation technology. In the current mainstream autonomous control system, the open source RTS2 has the characteristics of modularity, plug-and-play, fast response and stable operation, resulting in its widely application in the autonomous control system. As RTS2 is mainly based on the Linux platform, which is mainly based on the CLI for remote access control, the requirements for the observers are strict. In this paper, the RTS2 system is thoroughly analyzed, and the JSON API is modified to use JSON as the data transmission format. The microcomputer application in the mobile terminal is used as the carrier, and the data access and function call of the RTS2 telescope control system are carried out across different platforms. The control system is transplanted to WeChat Micro-program, so that astronomical researchers can quickly and easily use the mobile terminal in the WeChat platform for telescope remote control and real-time monitoring telescope autonomous control system status. With this model, it can be extended to other autonomous control architectures such as ASCOM, so as to realize a remote control of mobile terminal based on micro-application.
