QHY5 dropping out?
Hi,
I've just been most graciously been gifted a Starlight Xpress SVXR-H9C Cooled CCD and I am now running into an issue with my QHY5 guide camera.
I am running a single USB cable from a USB2 port on my laptop to a powered USB2 hub. Now when I try to connect the QHY5 up to the laptop it sometimes doesn't get recognised or drops out once it is initialised in PHD.
I have 2 theories but if any other ideas can be presented it would be great.
Theory 1 - The usb cable is dodgy and i need to get a new one.
Theory 2 - That there is not enough USB data bandwidth to keep both cameras and the EQdirect cable running.
Ultimately I would like to keep it as one cable from the laptop to the USB2 hub but I did get it all working with running the QHY5 to its own usb port on the laptop.
