Homeyer

For this driver, select Homeyer on the Setup tab.

This driver allows direct connection of a Homeyer filter wheel to a PC serial port. Please see Notes On Direct Serial Port Connection for information on making the necessary connections.

This wheel emulates an SBIG CFW8. Please refer to SBIG-Compatible Filter Wheels for information on connecting this wheel through an SBIG camera.

Enter the serial port to use under COM Port.

The user can assign names for each of the color filter slots, under Filter Name. If your filter wheel has fewer slots than allowed for by this driver, simply leave the Filter Name in the extra slots blank; they will not appear in the drop-list filter selectors. If the filters vary in thickness, a Focus Offset can be entered for each filter. This causes the focus position to be offset appropriately every time an exposure is taken with a new filter position. If this feature is used, absolute positioning focusers are strongly recommended to ensure repeatability.

Please see Notes On Direct Serial Port Connection for information on making the necessary electrical connections.
