ASI290 Driver

hifisch

Hi everyone,

I'm a new ASI-User an very impressed of the sensitivity as guiding cam.

But I have one problem:

If I use the 290MC with PHD, the cameradriver tells PHD a pixelsize of 3.75 instead of the correct 2.9.

Will this ne fixes by ZWO ?

I think you can change it, but even when not it should work for now as it is.

If I change it in PHD it was overwritten by the drivervalue. I can adjust the focallength, so that PHD uses the correct resolution (arcsec per pixel). But this is only the second best solution. I'd prefer a bugfix for the driver.

this is a bug with our SDK

we will fix it with our next release

Hi Sam,

thank you.

Sam@ZWO

just updated our ASCOM driver should fixed this problem

Thanks. The Ascom-driver works fine.

Does it make sense to switch back to the SDK-driver (if it will be updated with the next release) or is there no additional benefit of the SDK-version compared to the Ascom-version ?

there is no difference with ASI290 except for the pixel size

we will update our SDK soon

Hi Sam,

can you tell me, when the SDK-Driver will be updated. On the downloadpage is still the old one with the wrong pixelsize for the 290MC (3.75µm instead of 2.9µm).

we will update next week

I attached the newest one for you to test

Release x86.rar

I now installed the latest camera driver 1.3.9.8 from your Homepage, but the driver tells PHD still, that the pixelsize is 3.75 instead of 2.90 :

So what's the problem ?

Hi Sam,

thank you. PHD now gets the right pixelsize.
