ACP (hub) not appearing in ASCOM chooser

[David Sun]

Hi

Have been out of action as my hard drive packed up so been restoring everything that was on it. One curiosity when doing this relates to the option to choose ACP(hub) from ASCOM. This seems to have disappeared as an option in my rebuild - but when i drop down to ASCOM 5.0 it reappears. If I stick backin the ASCOM 5.5 update the option disappears again. Any idea what might be going on here ?

Thanks, David

Bug in the ACP installer! Sorry.

Will fix in the next release. For now after going to ASCOM 5.5, you can register it with the Profile Explorer as ACP.Telescope -> "ACP Telescope Hub".

I am having a simalair issue with the ACP Hub.
On my new install it dosn't appear in the Ascom 5.5 Dropdown.
It is also not in the ASCOM Explorer (profiler).
If I rebember correctly the foucse max had a similar issue and I had to enter in manualy.
Do you have a step by step on how to enter the ACP Telescope Hub into ASCOM or how to check and redown load the plugin.
Thanks
Mike

Don't uninstall/reinstall/replace DLLs, etc. :-))

1. Open the ASCOM Profile Explorer.
2. Expand Profile Root and Telescope Drivers
3. Select then right click Telescope Drivers
4. Select New Key
5. Name the new key "ACP.Telescope"
6. In the Data (right) column of the right pane, enter "ACP Telescope Hub", leave the left column (name) blank
7. Close the Profile Explorer
