Pegasus Astro Forum

Hi:

Recently, a problem has cropped up when starting an SGP sequence. I get the following error message:

"Could not switch 'Pegasus Astro Powerbox Switch-0' to 'Not Available'! ASCOM Switch does not understand 'Not Available'! Aborting sequence."

On closing this error message, the sequence starts normally and runs to completion. Not sure what's going on here since it was working before and I haven't made any changes. Also, I checked and I'm running the latest versions of the software for the PPA.

I've checked this forum and the SGP forum and don't see any similar issues reported. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris

Please update your ASCOM switches driver to the latest one (provided in our website)

Tx for the reply but I do have the latest version shown on the website (V 2.3). I also checked the program again and it stated that there were no updates available.

I'm getting exactly the same error and have also installed the latest version of SGP as well as the latest software and drivers from Pegasus:

ASCOM Powerbox Switch Driver v2.3 (Jan/21)
USB Drivers CDM21228_Setup.zip
Pocket Powerbox Setup (v1.17 / Jun 21)

This is preventing me outright from running any SGP sequences, please respond.

Thanks

We'll investigate why this happens with new SGPro.
Sure thing is we haven't changed something and it is triggered from newer SGPro so the issue maybe has to be fixed there.

Thanks Evans.

For reference I'm also using:

SGP 4.0.0.661 (64 bit)

ASCOM Platform 6.5 SP1

Cheers
