Fixed. Something was broken deep down in Windoze. No surprise. Reinstall didn't fix it, but
reinstall/repair did.

Robin,
Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I just built another MYFP2 and will run it for a while
to see if the problem is hardware or software.

Cheers,

I haven't been able to find the source code either which is rather odd. The project is supposed to be open source. Certainly the Arduino part is. I turned tracing on in the ASCOM driver to get some sort of log. Sadly it isn't terribly helpful and looks like it blind to what's really happening. I sus...

I've used the MOUNT CONNECT trick to get past the disconnects on the AM5. However, when this happens on the MYFP2 SC is unable to reconnect. I get either an I/O error or a message about no access to the device. The only way to get SC reconnected is to disable/enable the driver or restart SC. Obvious...

During sequence operation SharpCap has been losing connection to the focuser. This is a MyFocuserPro2. This is a recent problem and has been happening with both the 2014 and 2022 driver for the CH340 serial chip. I've also had a similar problem with losing connection to the AM5 mount. I've reinstall...

Thanks for the explanation on HGC/LGC. Knowing where the threshold is helps quite a bit.
I believe the chip does support 2x2 and 3x3 on chip binning. Is that supported or is it post
delivery binning?

Thanks again for the work on getting the support native.

Cheers,

Sigh. I just installed 4.1.11433 and now the QHY cameras are both working again.
I'll run them for the next couple days and update here if they lock up again.

Fantastic! I'm regularly using my IMX571 now. A couple questions:
Are you planning on making the on camera binning available as an
option? Also, I can't find the control for HGC/LGC. What's the default,
or should I set it with the ASCOM driver?

Thanks again for getting these cameras running.

I had the QHY5IIIV2 camera working briefly on my setup after reloading the latest qhy beta
drivers. Since then it has locked up again. Here's an example log where SC tries but fails
to start live view...

I am running the latest 4.1 version and cannot manage to get it to run either of my QHY5IIIV2 cameras (678M/200M). When first plugged in the software runs fine, but once on the telescope, the connection works and controls show up but there are errors saying the camera won't go into live mode. Any id...
