GPUSB and Maxim DL
GPUSB and Maxim DL
Hello : My setup : mount skyview Pro Goto (with port ST4), camera CCD Orion deepspace (without port ST4), Interface : GPUSB , log : Maxim DL ; my question : is it necessary to download Ascom platform and ascom driver for GPUSB : on the website : maxim dl works directly with GPUSB? Thank's Pierre

Re: GPUSB and Maxim DL
Yes, Maxim DL should work directly with the GPUSB with no need for the ASCOM driver. I have an older version 4.58, here is how I access it:
View -> CCD Control Window
Guide Tab
Options -> Guider Settings
Autoguider Output Control Via -> select GPUSB
View -> CCD Control Window
Guide Tab
Options -> Guider Settings
Autoguider Output Control Via -> select GPUSB

Thank's , I'll try soon. Pierre......Yes, that's right...Merci beaucoup...So long.
Re: GPUSB and Maxim DL
unfortunately : il doesn't work without ascom plateform and drivers. With them : the telescope is connected but "Not tracking" and when I want to slew : it's impossible and appears this : "Maxim DL failed tot start thr slew : Ascom telescope driver for shoestring GPUSB ; method slew to coordinate is not implemented in this driver"

Re: GPUSB and Maxim DL
It sounds like you have the GPUSB connected as the "Telescope". The GPUSB works through the mounts autoguide port and will only provide small motions of the mount for the purpose of guiding it. It will not provide the fast slewing motion that moves a mount from one object to another.
See my original response on how to connect to the GPUSB for autoguiding.

Re: GPUSB and Maxim DL
Thank's : so I can only autoguide with GPUSB and not use it for Goto (it's not a problem, I have a Goto on the mount) ? and so is it normal that "not tracking" is displayed? Thank you for confirmation. Pierre
