Well Well Well.....its a NEW record!

I have just set up my scope, connected it, installed the new FCUSB focus controller and the USBEQ5 direct cable ALL via a USB hub which is connected by ONE, count it ONE! USB cable to the Laptop.....Even the Atik and the DBK cameras are connected to the hub.

NO DRIVER ISSUES, NO CONFLICTS, ALL WORKING, ALL THROUGH 1 USB port to the laptop!!!!!

It's unheard of!!!!!!!!!

I can slew the scope using Stellarium Scope and EQmod, I can take pics using both cameras, I can set the focuser ALL THROUGH 1 cable!!!!!!

Unbelievable????

Question is: should I put the cameras directly into the PC just to avoid congestion on the bus or will it all work via one usb port???? Any advice here from anyone who may have had issues or done the same?

That question aside....I just cracked a beer to celebrate. It ALL works! First GO and only took 20 mins from start to finish!

Someone must like me up there......?

Edit: And now I have the gamepad working through ASCOM also......

Cheers

Chris
