ASCOM filter reports a false negative result
Issue #1195
closed
So I have tested a filter driven by ASCOM from Touptek. It gave me an error saying “Failed to move filter wheel to filter a-3 at position 3”, while the filter actually moved to the correct slot.
Then I tested it on a computer with the 2.0.0.9001 version which does not report any of the error.
I am currently using the 2.1.1.2004 version of NINA and I suspect that now NINA requires feedback from ASCOM telling NINA that the target slot has been reached.
Can someone offer me some suggestions about how I should change the ASCOM driver in order to pass the error report?

In previous versions it was not validated that the filter arrived at the destination. With the latest release it is now validating that. This requires that the “IsMoving” property indicates properly that the filter wheel is moving directly after setting the target filter slot. If that doesn’t happen N.I.N.A. will check the filter before it has arrived at the destination. If that is the case this needs to be addressed in the driver.
