Help to decipher this error message

Help!
Pulling my hair out figuring out how to set up my EFW. Here is my set up
Hardware: ZWO ASI 1600 mono with a ZWO 7x36mm filter wheel.
Software: ASCOM platform 6.3 (latest), ASI ASCOM camera driver v1.0.2.25 (latest), ZWO EFW ASCOM driver v1.0.0.12 (latest)
Connection: USB3 laptop to Camera, USB2 Camera to EFW.

Problem: Connect camera to program. EFW starts
If I use Sharpcap 2.9 the program says it cannot connect to the EFW, but I can find it and connect it under setup. However it cannot be calibrated. I have tried to set it manually to position 1, but it still runs and returns to random positions and refuse to calibrate (see attached screen shots).

I then tried using Sequence Generator (Pro trial version expired, so using the lite version). The EFW just runs randomly and stops and then runs again.

I tried using the ZWO EFW calibration tool, as per this thread https://zwoug.org/viewtopic.php?f=29...t=filter+wheel
But no luck, the EFW is a possessed zombie.

Anyone else had this issue? I will see if this is any operator issue before I get in touch with Bintel.

Cheers
Bo
