Re: DSUSB With Nikon D5000
The pinout for the 3.5mm connector in the DSUSB is shown on page 5 of this document: http://store.shoestringastronomy.com/ShutterRemoteMod.pdf Various cameras require different sequencing of the Wakeup/Focus and Shutter signals. It sounds like your camera requires both to be asserted in order to fir...

Re: Problem getting my Nikon D7500 recognized
DSUSBCheck provides very low level control of the DSUSB, i.e. it allows you to control the LED color and the two electrical signals all separately. For many cameras, both the "Assert" and the "Open" signals must be used to get the shutter to open. Some cameras only take one or the other signal to ge...

Re: Can I swap GPUSB for EQDIR?
GPUSB only takes care of the autoguiding functions. I believe that autoguide packages that support ASCOM should be able to send autoguide commands through the EQDIR. I have not tried this myself, but since you already have EQMOD you could give it a try to see if that works.

Unfortunately I don't use EO myself. I would give EO tech support or any online forums that deal with EO a try.

Re: Possible Issues with USB2EQ6 Cable
How long are the other cables that go from hub to devices (camera, focuser, etc.)? Do these cables all run together in the same bundle? If so, you might try separating them as much as possible temporarily to see if that helps. You might also try temporarily removing the focuser and polemaster cables...

Re: Possible Issues with USB2EQ6 Cable
This is an issue I haven't seen before. The only thing I can think of is that the new setup has a ground loop issue. Are you using any USB cable length extensions or is it just the USB2EQ6 between PC and mount? Are you using any USB hubs between PC and mount? Have you tried different USB ports? Have...

Re: MaxStep & MaxIncrement in FSUSB ASCOM Driver
Unfortunately my skills and tools to write or update these drivers has eroded since I first published these. I would be more than happy to work with someone that has the ability to create a modernized version.

Re: DSUSB connection problem
I am all out of ideas, especially since I have never dealt with Macs. Your last paragraph might work.
