Connect Two ASCOM Switches

#1

Post by gtdulaney »

I use an Eagle 5 for control but need additional USB 3 ports so I connected a Pegasus Astro USB Control Hub to the Eagle.

The USB Control Hub works just fine, shows up in Pegasus Unity software but I can't get it's ports to show in SharpCap.

Is there a way to connect both the Eagle and USB Control Hub and show all switches in SharpCap?

Hi,

not directly from SharpCap, but there is a piece of software called the 'ASCOM Switch Hub' which lets you get this done - it can connect to multiple switch devices and then appear as a single switch device (with all the switches in) in SharpCap. Check out https://github.com/jlecomte/ascom-switch-hub

cheers,

Robin
