In that error report it looks like the focuser has connected correctly but has triggered an error when you try to use the focus scan functionality. It looks like you may have a focus position of very close to 0 which may be part of the problem – normally you would expect to start with the focus position that is quite high – for example 10,000. Focus positions are not supposed to go below zero, but maybe the scan is trying to set the position below zero and causing the problem. I think with the GC USB focuser there is a way to reset the value without moving the focus of the to get yourself back to a sensible starting value.

Hope this helps, Robin
