Have you tried to recalibrate the EFW in the setup window? Just a thought.

Hello
I found: the DARK filter I installed is too thick, so it blocked the movement of the wheel

Hi Louis,

good to hear you found the problem. It would make sense I suppose that if the wheel got stuck, it would still think it was moving, even though SharpCap might have given up waiting for it to arrive at the new position and made it possible to click on a different filter.

cheers,

Robin
