Problem with Ascom AtikCameras Server

[fkane]

I un-installed the legacy Atik drivers and installed this new package.

I was able to select the EFW2/3 filter wheel via the ASCOM drive in TheSkyX Pro, but upon connecting to it I got an "error 206".

I tried connecting to it using the ASCOM Diagnostics app to see if it's a TSX issue, but that also had an error:

Hello,

Thank you for trying this! Our software engineer sends his apologies! He has seen what is wrong but unfortunately is on leave today. We will get a working version of this uploaded again early next week. Sorry.

Thanks

Happy to help; I'm a software engineer myself and understand it's challenging.

I'll be away from home next week but will test whatever is available as soon as I'm back. Thanks.

Hello,

Here is the latest version, I've tested it before uploading it and all seems to work fine for me.

OK, finally got home to try this out. I think it works! I was able to connect to my EFW2 via the ASCOM driver in TheSkyX and control it, and observed that memory usage remained stable.

It will be awhile before conditions will allow for testing out an all-night imaging run again here in Florida, but this build looks promising. Thanks!

That's great, thanks a lot for trying out.

Best regards

FYI I finally had clear skies and was able to image all night using the new drivers. Worked like a charm!

Excellent! Thanks for letting us know
