Atik EFW3 problem


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I wonder if anyone can help.

I recently wiped my pc.  Upon reinstalling everything my Atik EFW3 suggests I have only 5 filters instead of 7.

I cant find anywhere to change this.

Any ideas please?

Many thanks

Ian

What software are you using?  Recently my Atik EFW2 was only showing 7 instead of 9 filters in APP.  I was able to correct it but I'll be honest I cant remember exactly how, sorry, but it was only a matter of changing the settings,

Ok so my delight wa short lived.

When i reassembled it and connected it 8 filter postions showed, correct. I reconnected the camera, guide camera and focuser, came inside, sent previous reply then connected via remote desktop and only 5 positions now showed.

Disconnected eveything reconnect filter wheel,  only 5 positions.

Unintalled software, reinstalled software (latest from web site)

5 positions.

Changed power supply, changed usb cable

5 positions.

Thanks again for any thoughts

Ok, hopefully sorted now. The carousel wasn’t seated properly so the micro switch wasn’t reading the position correctly and I assume defaulted to 5 filters.

Fingers crossed

Ian

Hopefully that does the trick 👍
