Maxim Sensor Temp not Reported Atik One 6.0

[simonlowther]

Hi

I have an Atik One 6.0 (which I love btw), however the sensor temp is not being reported in Maxim v6.  In Atemis the sensor temp is reported, and in Maxim I can see that the cooler is being regulated appropriately for the setpoint.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

Seems that this is a well documented bug on the Cyanogen forums, with a workaround and some information for others whom have the same issue (Maxim vr 6.09 and 6.10).

Given that Maxim is one of (if not the) most popular shooting software I would have thought the people from Atik would be more interested in solving this outright. Very disappointing.

Hi Simon,

I’m sorry you’ve had this problem – it’s something we are aware of, taking seriously and trying to fix. We’re currently waiting for full specifications to show us what’s changed in the latest versions Maxim to cause it, and once we have that information we can crack on with the solution 

I believe the workaround is to use the ASCOM driver, is that the recommendation on the Cyanogen forums?

I’m glad to hear you love the Atik One 6.0 and I hope this hasn’t changed that!

I also have the same problems with the 490. Ascom driver reports the tempture but locks up on continueous shots. Have to do control, alt. delete to exit out. The artimas driver doesnt lock up but only shows the percentage of current draw and no temp. Dont see anyone working on a fix. Is this a maxim dl problem or Atiks? Thanks, david klein astroisme@msn.com

As I said on the MaxIm forum, I need logs of the ASCOM camera driver communication.

The instructions for collecting this are in the driver help file, in brief:

• Check the Trace On checkbox in the Atik Camera Setup window.
• Run until the error is seen.
• Send the log files, with a description of what you do, to me (or post it somewhere I can get at).
• Add any other information that you think my be useful, but the logs are essential.  I need to know what is going on.
  

The log files are in the My Documents\ASCOM\Logs <date>\ folder.

Hi all,

Apparently there is a fix which will be in the Maxim 6.11 release.

Thanks
