Since I bought the qhycfw3 last month, all the setting worked well in the EZ-CAP QT. But there are problems when I tried it in Sharpcap.
The qhycfw3 was connected to qhy183m with the 4-pin cable and the LED status was green.
All the drivers were updated. It didn't work wither in sharpcap edition 3.2.5892.0 or 3.2.5897.0.
When I connected all the cables, and open the sharpcap, connected qhy183m, a error message occurred.

If I changed the hardware setting to QHYCCD FilterWheel, the other error occurred.

I also tried USB mode to use in ASCOM driver (LED red), however, it still didn't work.

Could anyone help me? Thanks a lot.

Hi,

if this is the filter wheel that connects via a socket on the camera itself then I think that you do not need to select anything in the hardware settings in SharpCap – SharpCap I believe autodetect this filter wheel when you open the camera as long as the wheel has already completed its initialisation routine (i.e. it's already done its initial spin and stopped).

Hope this helps, Robin
