Hello,
I have had a very weird situation going on that I’m hoping someone can help me with. I’ve been using the EAF’s now for a couple of years an absolutely love them. (I have 4 of them for different setup’s)
I recently put together a wider fov setup and I’m using 1 of my EAF v1 (that needs the power supply) and used it for a couple of imaging sessions. During an imaging session the EAF just litterly stopped working and when I tried to connect to it SharpCap said that it wasn’t found. I’ve done all the normal troubleshooting procedures, reinstalled ZWO drivers, updated Ascom platform, new cables, etc.. BTW the red light is on so its getting power. After going thru all that I decided ok the EAF died on me. So I switched out with another v1 EAF got thru 1 imaging session great, onto the 2nd session and the exact same things happened. Started the session working and all of a sudden EAF not found. Sure enough I checked it again and its dead, the computer doesn’t recognize it, in fact all 3 computers don’t recognize it! So in a weeks time I’ve had 2 EAF’s v1 die on me!
Has anyone had this same problem? Is this a common issue with version 1? How can an EAF litterly start a session working and then part way thru just die?
I have another EAF v2 but I’m scared to put it on the focuser because I don’t want that one now to take a crap! Is this an issue that v1 of these EAF’s have?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also is there a way to fix these 2 that are now dead?
Dale
