Bug ID: 526698
Summary: ZWO EFW Not Connecting in kstars 3.8.4
Classification: Applications
Product: kstars
Version First 3.8.4.1
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: macOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
When I start Ekos in the latest version of kstars, all of my equipment except
the ZWO EFW connects. I have verified that the EFW appears in MacOS System
Information USB section so it is connected and operating. Perhaps this is a
driver issue? I've attached a large selection of lines from the log containing
the word 'wheel' below.
More info: I had an older version of kstars on the same computer (3.7.9). If I
launch that version and try to connect to the EFW in Ekos, the connection is
successful. Assuming this version is using a different driver, is there an way
to move that driver to the latest version?
