I forwarded this to our devs.
I tried installing the beta version you supplied (1.0.0.5) and it still does not show up in the list of focusers in TheSkyX64. It appears that there is a naming or location issue. After installing it, if I go to the directory where it has been installed and change the name from “focuserlist x2 ZWO EAF” to “focuserlist64 x2 ZWO EAF” it will show in the list of available focusers but then I get an error in TheSkyX64 stating that the right driver cannot be found.
Hi tbob, we will test the issue as soon as possible. If there is any news, I will reply here immediately.

Hello.. Jumping from the SkyX forums to here.. I am having the same issue with TSX on RPI4 (8GB) running Bullseye 64 bit (and 64 bit TSX as well). ZWO EFW is recognized by system on startup (FW centers) and works with Indigo driver but will not work with X2 driver for TSX. EFW shows "Ready" but that's it. Nothing else works. I understand that there are issues with some cameras and focusers as well. Please help.. EFW Driver Version 2.00, EFW SDK V1,1,0.1. It will randomly also throw an error code 200. Additionally, my 2600 won't connect to TSX (but is recognized) and TSX just blows up. My 1600 works but same issue with EFW. Please help, it seems these issues with X2 Plugin have been ongoing.
Hi tbob, We have released a new version, which may solve your problem.

Hi jays_ct, We will make the same function improvement for EFW. If there is any progress, I will let you know immediately

Thank you.. Pretty urgent. Understand RPIs are a small(er) percentage of supported machines/OSs, but growing quickly as they get more powerful and ASIAir has an RPI at it's heart, so I know you know they're powerful. Trying want to standardize on cameras, focusers, fw's from ZWO, but need TSX for many other reasons.. I (and others) appreciate any consideration you can give to new X2 SDK and Plugins as soon as possible. I am ready to help test in any way you might need!

We will improve it as soon as possible
@Software@ZWO#59009
Thank you.. Again, willing and able to test at any time.

jays_ct When we finish it, we will send it to you for testing. Thank you.
Good morning.. Just checking in to see if there are any updates on a new X2 driver for the EFW? Thanks again..
Jay S.
jays_ct Not done yet. We will finish it as soon as possible.

I appreciate. It really is holding back a installation in an observatory, so again, I am hopeful it will be soon. There are still many many people with TSX installation both local and in remote observatories. The availability of 64 Bit ARM software makes it a very viable platform. Thanks again..
Jay S.
jays_ct OK, we will do it as soon as possible.
Hello again.. I was wondering if there is any possible update for a new X2 driver so I can use my ZWO filter wheels in TSX on RPI4? Again I'm running Bullseye.. I really don't want to switch to a different brand of EFW. Thanks!
Jay S.
jays_ct We will support it soon. Thank you.
Thank you.. I keep checking. :-)

Hello.. Hope everyone had a great weekend and for those celebrating Thanksgiving, a Happy Holidays. Really wondering if there is anything I can do/offer to help with on getting a working new X2 plugin for TSX on Raspberry Pi V4 running Bullseye. I've been waiting since September. There are those saying I'll never see it, but I don't believe that (or don't want to?). Please, I truly need this (as do others who've posted in the forums). Thank you!
Jay S.
jays_ct We have just completed the development and are currently in the testing stage. I will give you a test version later. Thank you.
These are the beta releases for Mac, Linux x86, Linux x64 and Linux Armv8(Raspberry Pi4)
