Re: FocusCube v3

Wheeljack are you using the exact same cable to connect to the PC that you were using for the PPB connection? When I first purchased the FC3 I had a really annoying intermittent connection issue with it - turned out to be the USB cable! Brand new short cable, decent quality - but my connection issue...

Re: FocusCube v3

I believe it was just a typo from Evans - I reproduced what he told me verbatim. What he was saying was that they found a memory leak associated with the wifi function - which also caused FC3 disconnects even if you were not using the FC3 wifi facility.

Re: FocusCube v3

I feel your pain guys! I had a quick initial reply from Evans at PegAstro who was going to get back to me, but seems to have forgotten... I alleviated my initial problem, to some degree, by disabling the Windows 11 power saving USB cut off when it thinks the USB is no longer being utilised (Evans su...

FocusCube v3

While running Unity Platform on a windows PC (Win11 Home, 64bit) I am having problems controlling the FocusCube v3. After a few minutes the FocusCube 'Absolute position' display reverts to zero, the focus controls become unresponsive and I am given 2 error messages - error codes 1401 and 1402. Somet...
