ASI220 mini not found by PhD2

pselaphid

My asi220 mini guide camera in the asi2600mm duo is not being identified by PhD2. Two ascom cameras are listed (1 and 2). Based on other forum posts, the mini should be no. 2. Both sensors are correctly recognized by ASI Studio and NINA as the 220mini (camera 2) and the 2600mm (camera 1). Selecting either ASCOM camera 1 or 2 in PhD2 brings up the main imaging sensor, confirmed by pixel size shown in PhD and by physically covering the sensors in bench testing, just to be sure. The unspecified ZWO camera choice at the bottom of the list also brings up the main sensor.

I did see a post suggesting replacing the ASCOM camera 2 DLL file in the PhD folder with another one from a ZWO source, but I can't find an equivalent file in any ZWO folders. That post was a couple years old so maybe they have changed how they package the files in the driver package.

I have refreshed the latest ASCOM Platform, ZWO drivers, ASI Studio, NINA, and PhD2.

Thanks,
Chris

pselaphid What is your current PHD2 and ASCOM software version? Verify that the version matches the official website. https://www.zwoastro.com/software/

You have the most recent versions of each.

Yes, thanks, that is what I thought but glad to have independent confirmation. Still, PhD2 keeps opening the main sensor.

When using PHD2, does it display the ASI220mini name?
1.After connecting the camera while using PHD2, check the imaging devices in your computer's Device Manager to see if two cameras are recognized.
2.Check if any other software is occupying the ASI220mini during guide camera operation.

Device manager recognizes both 220 mini and 2600duo. Where is the ASICamera Setup screen?

ASI220 Port 0004.Hub#0002
ASI2600 Port 0013.Hub#0001

Not sure how to check for "other software..." but does not appear anything else is running.

Please take screenshots of these steps and send them to me so I can see if you can select two cameras here.

Both ASCOM camera choices pull up the main sensor (3.76 pixel size). Neither connects the 220 (4.00 pixel size).

I am not getting item no 5 in the connection sequence.

You need to click this button to select the corresponding camera, rather than choosing ASI Camera(1) or ASI Camera(2). These drivers do not represent the primary camera and the guide camera connection. After clicking the button, take a screenshot of the camera selection and upload it to me.
