I've just bought a s/h ATiK EFW filter wheel but it doesn't seem to function!
The PC can see the USB drivers and AstroArt recognises the filter wheel under the ASCOM drivers but....
When plugged into the 12V power the stepper motor just buzzes and doesn't respond to any "change filter" commands.
I've checked the wiring for the motor and it's OK...
I can only therefore assume there's something going on with the USB to filter wheel connection.
My question is:
Does anyone still have an original ATiK wheel? Can I borrow the controller to check out my wheel?
All expenses paid.
Let me know.
