I am new to AstroArch (long-time Astroberry/Ekos/Kstars user). I just received an XAGYL motorized filter wheel yesterday that I am trying to test. I figured I'd test it with my ASI120MM as my test CCD. The 120MM shows up as "connected" when I press "Play", but it does not show up in camera module.

What am I missing?

Edit: I went through the profile creator and now it's there? So, we have to use the profile creator?

Have you added it to the Optical train?

Thanks! I did, but for some reason, it didn't take. The optical train popped up and I had to add it a second time, and still it didn't show up in camera module.

I confess I am new to this optical train step so maybe I'm missing something. I'm just using simulators for the mount and telescopes. Not sure if that has anything to do with things.

I used the profile creator and that seems to be working at the moment.

Cheers!

Wow, okay, optical trains.

A bit curious - I have an ASI120MM that I want to use for experimenting as a primary camera, and I have an Orion SSAG as a guide camera. I just connected the SSAG and things seem happy, but surprisingly, there is no mention of the SSAG in the guide module. More worrying is the scope info in the guide module is for the primary scope, NOT the guide scope. To add to this, I see a message guider port on ASI120MM Mini is now ready.

So, do I have to create yet another optical train/equipment profile JUST for the guide scope and then select that in the guide module?

Perhaps this video and this link will help you understand and configure your devices in the Ekos optical train

Thank you.

I read the original thread on why this started, and I've since been trying to understand how this feature might be helpful to me in some way. Not feeling it. I know I'm two years late to the party, and I am slow to change and that's my fault.
