QHYCFW3-S-US - anyone using it with SharpCap?

#1

Post by ramdom »

Hi all, I've been using SharpCap with a ZWO mini-EFW and it has been working great but I just purchased the QHYCFW3-US and I was wondering if anyone had used the special connection they have that goes between the EFW and camera with SharpCap? That is, if a single USB connection from both camera and EFW is used (with a RJ11? connection between the EFW and the camera) does SharpCap recognise the EFW like it would if the direct USB connection is used? Or should I just do it directly?

The camera in question is the QHY294M - new too - has anyone used it with SharpCap with good results? Thanks!

Hi,

if you connect your QHY filter wheel to the camera via one of the special connector cables then SharpCap should detect the filter wheel automaticall (leave the hardware filter wheel settings as 'None').

For this to work, your camera must have 12V power and you must let the filter wheel complete its initial calibration spin before opening the camera in SharpCap.

cheers,

Robin
