All,

Just recently ran into an issue with ZWO Filter Wheel, INDI/EKOS and TheSkyX. Initially ZWO needed to update its X2 plugin for TSX as the one shipping was showing its age for sure. A beta X2 was released for testing. On my Raspberry Pi (Bullseye, RPI 4, 8GB), INDI/EKOS is not "clearing" the Filter Wheel (even when I do a complete disconnect). If I start or access the filter wheel before attempting to use it in TSX, TSX reports a connection error. If I just go right to TSX, the filter wheel is fine. If I do use EKOS first, I have to reboot to get the Filter Wheel release from INDI/EKOS. My reason for using INDI/EKOS right now is that the filter wheel calibrate is in INDI Control Panel. I've asked ZWO to add it to the X2 plugin.

Wondering if there is something internal to INDI/EKOS that is holding on to the EFW?

Appreciate any thoughts..

Jay S.
