I am having an issue with SGP and FLI focuser connecting problem. I connect the camera first and then I try to connect my FLI focuser to SGP and I get the error message, Error connecting to FLI ASCOM focuser. I have been having this problem for the last couple of nights. After a couple of attempts I am able to connect. I have removed and reinstalled the FLI ASCOM drive, replaced the USB cable, remove and reinstalled SPG. I am able to connect to theFLI Atlas focuser using the FLI app and control the focuser with the app. I connecting the focuser using the USB hub on the 16803 camera. I am attach the screen shot.
This looks like potentially an issue with the FLI Focuser ASCOM driver. I don’t see SGP doing anything wrong with how it’s connecting. I assume the FLI App is probably using the driver natively vs through ASCOM. It may be worth trying to use the ASCOM Device Hub and see if the focuser connects through there or if you see similar issues.
The ASCOM Device Hub is installed with newer versions of the ASCOM Platform. I can’t recall when it was introduced. If you have an older version you can use POTH. Both are applications installed on your machine. Just attempt to connect to the focuser with either of those and attempt to move it around.
If you can attempt to connect the focuser in SGPro and then send us logs showing the issue, we can take a look. Guidance is here: How to Submit Logs in SGPro
