Problems with ZWO ASI533MM
Posted: Sat Apr 01, 2023 9:49 am
Hi,
I’m having issues running Sharp Cap Pro on a new ZWO 533MM (second camera).
Re driver updates, my laptop running Windows 10 is current.
Drivers for ZWO, Sharp Cap Pro are current.
A solar imaging friend is suggesting that it may be the USB cable. He says,
“I've just gone through a collection of USB3 cables (about six of them!) which couldn't handle the ASI 178 fast frames on the Mini SHG”.
As for hardware, the laptop in use is a 64-bit operating system running 8GB of RAM.
It is a 2-year-old HP Pavilion Power Laptop 15 cb0xx with an Intel(R)) Core ™ i7-7700HQ CPU@2.8GH processor with the camera connected to a USB 3 slot.
Today I added a powered USB Hub with limited success. Sharp Cap is up to date.
I’m not sure what to do next to get this camera running consistently without the camera shutting off and getting messages like “USB connection not recognized”.
Constructive suggestions from ASI533MM users welcomed on how to get it working properly.
Thanks Gerard
