HitecAstro Focus Master Unhandled exception errors
Issue #388
closed
Hello there, I'm just starting to get to grips with NINA, and it's an excellent piece of software. I've already built a darks & flats library using NINA. Imaging to start once the clouds clear ! The only problem I have is with the HitecAstro Focus Master v2 (red annodised case) ASCOM connection. NINA throws an exception error as soon as it connects. That is, it appears to connect (green connected flag shown). Driver version etc is visible in the focuser window. (as attached) Clicking yes to try to recover clears the error warning, but as soon as I click a move button or switch on temperature compensation the unhandled exception warning shown again. Clicking the No button on the warning shuts NINA down as expected. I have downloaded the latest HitecAstro driver (v2.1 build 3.0). I've attached the error log for your consideration. My system is QHY163M, QHY CFW3 filter wheel, Hitec focuser, NEQ6/ EQMOD. win10, but running 32b NINA ( I couldn't get the QHY filter wheel to conneect under 64b NINA). Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks Martin

Thanks Nickstarboy,
I think this could be a bit different. I didn’t have the HiTecAstro GUI open. I’ve just tried 64b NINA & hiTec throws a couple of unable to connect red errors. I guess that means the driver is not 64bit.
I’ll copy the fault over to Discord & see if there’s a response there.Cheers

This may or may not be helpful, but I have trouble with my HiTec Astro focuser when I also have the separate HiTecAstro focuser window GUI open - it throws up an error in NINA. Running NINA alone to control the focuser cures it. May not be quite the same problem though.
