Hi
So I recently got my powerbox advanced in the mail, thinking this would be a solution for all cables etc.
Everything i have connected works great, camera, dew heaters, guide cam and mount(telescope). But my focus cube cant be connected to in NINA. It states that COM3 is not available, and I cant change that somehow since its connected via the USB 3 hub.
Is there somehow a solution for this? Can't belive I bought a Pegasus product not bein able to talk to my focus cube... :/

Hi,
In which USB port do you have the FocusCube plugged it?

Re: Powerbox advance and focus cube v2
I have tried in number 1 and number 3 so far..
In the drop down meny in NINA i select Pegasus astro focus controller. Problem is then it states that COM3 is not available(it's the one used by powerbox advance)
Changed my com port to another for the focuser seemed to work. But now my ZWO efw cant be found...

Try to click the gear icon to bring the ascom setting in front and select the COM port from the drop down menu
By the way please use USB port3. Port1 does not support USB2 devices.

Re: Powerbox advance and focus cube v2
RIght now Im using Port 2(ZWO 294MM-connected in NINA via box)
Port 1 - Nothing
Port 3 - Focus cube - Works
Port 4 - Orion guide cam - Works
Zwo filterwheel via camera, doesnt work at the moment. Worked before I got the focuser to work...heh
Had a go at USB tree viewer, and is seems like the powerbox comes up as an generic USB 2.1 HUb, not a USB 3 hub or superspeed...

Re: Powerbox advance and focus cube v2
It spawns 2 hub devices. A USB2 and a Superspeed USB3.
We would be out of business if we were delivering a USB2 hub only.

Re: Powerbox advance and focus cube v2
Yes, but according to the viewer it looks like it only connected via a usb2 hub. Even if they are the same box actually, kinda hard to understand from the program.
Anyhow, I connected filterwheel via hub instead of via camera, works good now.
Thanks for quick replies, and taking time trying to help with this!
