Duel power boxes - 1 PC

[Stev0]

Hey all,

I am wondering if anyone has run two power boxes at the same time from one PC?

If you have, I would love to know if it is the same brand or different too. I had read you can with Pegasus and have sent an email to wanderer asking if they support multiple software instances too.

Thanks in advance for your insights.

I believe i have solved my own questions:

When you setup a powerbox (e.g. Pegasus or Wanderer), you can turn them on based on a saved configuration and therefore not connect into Nina or the native software. They are therefore standalone and do not require engaging, assuming the config and cabling correct.

In my example, i will have two rigs connected to one mini pc that sits on my battery:
rig 1 - 10m mount GM1000, 9.25 OTA, 2600MM + OAG w/174, Wandererbox pro v3
rig 2 - AM5, Esprit 100, ApexEDL reducer, 2600MC, 290 + Guidescope and another yet to be aquired powerbox w/dew controller

My original concern is that when you connect Nina to the Wanderer switch in the newest version, it opens the native OS in the background mapped to the com port. So, if you had two, under different Nina instances, would you have a software issue..... it seems this question doesnt need to be answered in that you do not actually need to turn on the switch in Nina or even connect that native OS....just turn it on post config and job done!

Hoping this helps someone else out there looking to achieve the same thing.
