QSI 683WSG camera with filter wheel
NINA seems to not want to connect to my in camera filter wheel, perhaps because the usb connection is already in use by the camera? How do I get NINA to connect to the filter wheel if this is the case? The camera and filter wheel both are auto detected. thanks, Malcolm

each device has an ascom driver the filter wheel is listed in the filter wheels section, but NINA wont connect to it, gives an error about reconnect the camera. Camera is connected ok QSI supplies plugins for Maxim, Prism, and so on. Might this be required...? v.6.4 ASCOM
thanks very much

Ok, thanks for that info. It's strange that ASCOM is having issues with the filter wheel. If the FW is exposed through ASCOM and it is indeed listed, there should in theory be no issues connecting to it.
Under the Options pane, there is a setting for logging level. If you could turn that up to Trace and then try to connect to the filter wheel (and camera; you might as well try it all from step 1) and then put the log file here, that would be great. If you don't wish to put the log file in this ticket, you can email it directly to me at daleg+nina@elemental.org
You can find the log file under your user's home folder in

Hi, are you using the 64bit NINA app or the 32bit one? It might be that QSI's filter wheel driver is 32bit, and this situation might arise if you're trying to access it with a 64bit NINA.

Hi Malcolm, QSI has released updated ASCOM drivers that we are told will fix outstanding compatibility issues. It’s v.1.0.0.4 that is listed at the bottom of here: https://qsimaging.com/drivers-software/
-
repo owner - changed status to resolved
Fixed with the latest ASCOM driver at https://qsimaging.com/drivers-software/

Sorry to hijack this thread but I’ve come across this through google search, I’m getting the same issue with a QSI6120, its an older QSI so one made by QSI, it’s not allowing me to connect to the internal filter wheel, it is in the dropdown, looking at the other comments here I went to the link for the latest drives v.1.0.0.4, the latest is v.1.0.0.3. Any reccomendations?
-
Only thing we can say is to contact QSI for support matters regarding their products. It’s pretty clear there is an issue with their ASCOM drivers but it’s QSI’s responsibility to correct the issue in them.

Hi, Malcolm, sorry to hear you're having issues connecting to the filter wheel. I'm unfamiliar with QSI cameras, so you'll need to answer a few questions I have so that I have good picture about your situation:
Thanks, I hope we can get this figured out!
