Hi,
I'm using the Pegasus FocusCube v2 with astroberry 2.0.3 and all updates (kstars 3.5.0, libindi 1.8.7). The focuser seem to work well, although I hadn't the chance to use it at night due to bad weather I can set positions and the focus with kstars seem also to work.
So I want to use a joystick to focus when observing visually. I bought a xbox controller and also this works when I use the joystick tab in EKOS. The buttons and joysticks are recognized by EKOS.
I defined button 7 and 8 for focussing in and out and button 15 to abort focusing. Regarding the kstars log there is an info message "Pegasus DMFC: "[INFO] Focuser aborted."" and when I press button 7 or 8 "Pegasus DMFC: "[INFO] Focuser reached requested position."" So I think pressing the buttons is regognized by the focuser.
Problem is: ther is NO movement of the focuser when pressing button 7/8... Do I have missed something to click or something else?
Thank you for helping.
Best regards
Jürgen

Hi there,
I just received my QHY268C and it seems to work with EKOS, but with problems. I can take pictures and autofocus also seem to work (couldnt test it at stars dur to bad weather ). It also works with my ASI290mini.
I'm working with astroberry 2.0.3.
My problems at the moment:
- streaming (live video) is not possible. The icon turns green but I just get a dark screen in the preview. After the attempt of streaming I have to disconnect and reconnect the camera to get it work again.
- read mode: EKOS says the camera has 4 read modes, but there are only 3 when I'm right? What are the right values for the read mode (photographic should be 0, high gain=1, extended full well=2)?
- I always have to change the width and height from 6280x4210 to the effective number 6252x4176, otherwise I get an error
Perhaps someone can help me with the problems? Thank you and CS
Jürgen
