INDI Library v2.0.6 is Released (02 Feb 2024)

Bi-monthly release with minor bug fixes and improvements

Ultimate Powerbox v2 - connectivity issues?

Ok, I thought making it percentage wise would make it easier. But I guess I'll do it the same way they do.

I think if it's the same as the PC ASCOM driver settings, it's easier for them to support the device on both platforms.

Hi all,

Looking back through this post, it would seem that this issue has been resolved a while back but I'm still getting it. When I connect the Pegasus UPB I get:

[WARNING] Received wrong number of detailed sensor data.Retrying...

I've installed the latest updates from the Indi site. I'm using Stellarmate, a ZWO ASI 1600MC Pro and a QHY5 II-L as a guidescope, but the error occurs even before the cameras are connected.

Can you let me know how I can resolve the error?

Cheers,

Hi - can anyone tell me if the adjustable voltage output is working now? I can't seem to even find the tab with the setting anymore... Thanks!

As far as I have been testing it is there and works ...
I am currently fixing some issues with the driver (eg autodew did not work at all, testing that) and will also rearrarange power and dew setting differently in the tabs. All-off an all-on button also could give strange results (but that is related to firmware of the box not always reacting logically. Same error on windows. Fixing that by software routines) Fairly busy at the moment, so need a few days for the last changes and carefull testing.

starman99,

I had issues with variable voltage output. Pegasus Astro asked me to send the unit back to get it resolved. They didn't explain what the fix was but when I received the UPBv2 back, the variable voltage output is working.

If you've exhausted all other options, it
May be worth contacting them. They were very helpful.

I've been having some strange issues with focus lately using the UPBv2 and a Moonlite focuser. See here. If you examine the logs, there are all kinds of power issues. I'm wondering two things. First, if this is the same power issues you all are seeing. And second, if this power issue plays into the focus system at all, or just affects the power ports. I'm considering going back to my Moonlite focus controller soon if this doesn't seem to get sorted out.

No the power issues are related on how the powerbox handles the command for PowerOff/On all ports. If you send off it disables all 4 ports (The 5V and 12V always on can't be manipulated) and also turns off all dew heaters. If you send all ports on, the 4 ports are enabled but also the dew -heaters are enabled at "full strenght" but it does not show in the settings. (so the slider value is 0, you can see amp usage for the dew heaters but that is easily overlooked, and the scope can heat up a bit)

So I am changing it by 2 separate buttons; one for power and one for dew heaters and set all ports individually. Still need to introduce a global "off" switch.

Thanks for the input. Which version of the driver are people using? Should I be using the nightly build?
