i have connected all of my gear atik383l+, sx lodestar, mount, atik efw2. The proble that i face is that when i select a filter for my filter wheel the carousel will not spin to the selected filter. When the wheel powers up the carousel spins in order to initialize but then nothing happens. i have set it at the profile from the drop down menu, i have named the filter slots and saved the configuration but nothing happens. At the filter wheel tab when i select the filter position the wheel may sometimes spin and other times not. I changed the usb slot where i have the wheel and reinstalled the drivers but nothing happens. help please

scratch that, when i connect the wheel directly at on of the pi's ports then the wheel works noemally, when i put it at the usb hub then it doesn't spin and ekos shows that it has 13 filter positions instead of 9

i checked with another powered hub i have and i have the same result. The only way i can make the whell spin is if the wheel is connected directly at one of the pi's usb ports (the wheel has its own power supply). I would like to know if anyone uses the startech usb hubs, i've read that they are quite good for external enviroments
