ASI290MC and Firecapture 2.6 on Mac

m44dsw

Hi,

My ASI290MC works ok on version 2.5 of Firecapture on Windows 10 and on version 2.6 of Firecapture on Windows 10. However I only have USB2.0 laptop. So I have now installed Firecapture 2.6 on my Mac version 10.13.3 High Sierra. The camera is recognised by MAC OS X under the USB bus as below. m But when I start the Firecapture software is does not find the camera. Any ideas why?

ASI290MC:

Product ID: 0x290a

Vendor ID: 0x03c3

Version: 0.00

Speed: Up to 5 Gb/sec

Manufacturer: ZWO

Location ID: 0x14500000 / 8

Current Available (mA): 900

Current Required (mA): 512

Hi, I just download the latest FireCapture2.6.05 and run on my Mac mini(EI Capitan 10.11.5 ), and ASI290MC works normally,

please download the latest FC and try again, thank you.

ok downloaded and got it working, I was missing the libusb code that is needed for the Firecapture software to see the camera. So I could see the camera on the Mac under settings but Firecap was not seeing it. Installing the libusb code as laid out in the read me file fixed it.

That's great news.
