Sequencer doesnt select filter, but 'imaging' and 'Filterwheel' does.

Issue #214 invalid
nickstarboy created an issue

1.9 beta003 - latest

Filter wheel doesnt turn on sequencer. first noticed when all my B images looked just like my 610 images.

tests now without camera on (but connected fully)) show that the filter wheel option correctly turns filter. the standalone EFWfilterwheeldriver also works. The ‘imaging’ option also correctly sets filter.

images show screengrabs of the sequencer screen (not working) and the filter wheel/imaging screen on which everything works.

I cant try slewing to a target for a more real test as the camera isnt mounted on the scope.

running sequencer mostly does nothing - it pretends to run then stops. On one occasion it saved a single image with the wrong filter (ie not the one selected, just the one that was in at the time).

Also, when i click on the ‘get coordinates from the planetarium software’ i get error message ‘umable to acquire coordinates from cartes du ciel.’

I will try an older build.

    Hi,

    I am not able to reproduce your issue. Also in your sequencer screenshot the progress is already 2/2 so it is expected that nothing happens.

    Is the filter list inside the Options->Equipment->Filterwheel in sync with your current used filter wheel?

    Additonally please attach your log file for error logs found in %localappdata%\nina\logs

    Now re-installed 1.9 beta003, and it works! Hmmm…OK, better leave this for now until i can reproduce it.

    Hi Stefan, yes, perhaps I was being an idiot as the sequence has finished. Maybe a message saying ‘sequence finished’ when i click start might be useful! OK, sorry for the false alarm!!!
