I am a beginner. I was running my setup initially with ASI Air but decided to give NINA and CCDCiel a try. I've had trouble getting things running. I am running a mini PC with a Pegasus Gen 2 distributing power and USB services.
I can't get my filter wheel or rotator to connect. I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled just ASCOM and the camera and other ZWO driver package. I ran the ASCOM diagnostic program to see if it recognized the devices. The camera is recognized and shows up in Device manager as well. When I try to connect to the Filter Wheel I get the following:
Create Creating device
Connected Connecting to device

it seems that Object reference not set to an instance of an object is the problem. i have no idea what to do to fix this problem. Removing all programs and drivers and rebooting the mini computer did not work. Any advice?
