help required getting dual rotators to connect to NINA

Post by cwoodhou »

I have two Falcon rotators, which I have named rotator1 and rotator2, for a dual-camera NINA installation using the sync plugin. My problem is that I cannot auto-connect the rotators to NINA. When I do, it does not remember which NINA instance is connected to which rotator. In fact, I can get both NINA instances connecting to the same rotator. Even when I run one instance of NINA, I cannot guarantee which rotator it connects to.

I have to manually select the correct rotator each time I use NINA. I 'suspect' the issue is related to the way the ASCOM driver works, rather than NINA itself.

The ASCOM profile explorer only shows one entry for the rotators, with one unique ID, even when I have both rotators connected.

Dear Evans, is there a workaround or fix that can be done?

kind regards
