Re: ZWO EAF

I have a ZWO EAF (first version) on one of my telescopes. When I connect it through the USB2 port, I get a message that this device is compatible with the UPB2 (whatever that means) but I have had no success getting the UPB2 focus control to actually drive the focuser. Oh, the UPB2 focus display sh...

Re: DMFC and Unity not working with ASCOM

Pegasus replaced the unit, and the new one arrived about 2 hours ago. I'm now in my SkyShed POD, overlooking the St. Lawrence river, trying to test everything now that I have also downloaded the latest software. Unity seems to be working! Hello Roger, So it seems that the DMFC was a faulty unit. I'...

Re: DMFC and Unity not working with ASCOM

The unit was sent to Greece and is on its way to Canada. Pegasus have been very responsive, and I'm really looking forward to getting the unit back and in service. The next step will be modifying my Meade Zero Image Shift focuser to take a stepper motor. Does anyone know how to identify the wires i...

Re: Power Cable TO the UPW v2 not Included - Need Help

I see that it is an XT60 connector (Female) according to their website. ...if anyone reading this needs help on this issue. I found these on Amazon with 12 AWG wires, so I purchased a few.

Sometime that's the contrary. Some devices seem working well only with old software

Re: DMFC and Unity not working with ASCOM

No change, except that the device is now on COM4. I used the Unity platform to move the focuser to position 1000. I can request a move using APT, NINA and the ASCOM Device hub, and while they all start out showing that the focuser is at position 1000, when they each try to move it to position 2000,...

Hello, Roger,

A new Unity platform (version 1.6.1230.46) has just been released this afternoon. However, not sure it will help you. Fingers crossed!!!

...and the Unity software moved the Meade Zero Image Shift Focuser. Hello, Roger, In reading https://pegasusastro.com/products/dual-motor-focus-controller/ , I can't find your Meade Zero Shift Focuser as a supported Pegasus Astro focuser device. Is your focuser really supported? Thanks! Regards, Yves

Hello, Roger, I think you did the right thing to try solving your problem. As a beta-tester myself for other applications, it's not always easy testing different scenarios. Sometimes you need different devices (another computer, using another application like N.I.N.A. instead of APT, etc.). Even the...

Hi Roger, Are you sure you are using the PegasusAstro DMFC ASCOM driver? According to what you wrote, your system should have two ASCOM driver related to DMFC.
