Atik EFW2 Filterwheel Issues

[AstroAndy]

Hello Folks

Maybe someone on here knows about Filterwheel problems. I had, until recently, a well functioning Atik EFW filterwheel working with APT through Ascom(I believe it was the x64 version with 32 bit support). However, Firecapture wouldn't detect it, so of course I had to experiment, and now nothing works, neither APT, nor Firecapture.

Having read extensively on the web did not solve my problems (re-deinstalling, Core, legacy atik s/w, device manager, reading on here, etc.)

Now I have deinstalled it, and can't find my disk w/ the old driver anymore, nor does one seem to be provided anywhere on the web (Atik, Ascom, Optec).

The Atik Artemis s/w still works, and I have the driver on another computer, however, I can't locate the driver location I looked in device manager and sys/32?), all I see is my driver in the installed programs ( I had the bright idea to transfer it from one computer to another one. It's the ASCOM EFW2 filterwheel driver 1.1.0.0 . Does anyone know how I can get this driver back, or a solution that I can at least reintegrate my driver on one computer with APT on the other one. Had I known the headache this would cause me, I'd have left it alone.

 

Update: I have meanwhile solved this problem by finding the driver on the other computer, copied and pasted into the right place, and also deleting an older, similar driver in the target folder (The Ascom filterwheel folder).

 

Regards

Andy
