TouTek filter wheel registered as a camera..?

Hey, I just got my new ATR585M + AFW-M by ToupTek and the camera works absolutely fine. My only issue is the filter wheel, I could originally not find it in NINA under filter wheels but then I saw it was registered as a camera..

I already tried updating the drivers for the filter wheel and even updated ASCOM. When I run ASCOM Diagnostics, it doesn’t show up there as well just a bunch of simulators.

This seems like a driver issue for me but I don’t know how to fix it, any ideas?

Thank you!

I suspect it’s a driver issue. If you see everything else, ASCOM is working. I would make sure you have the latest firmware and drivers. I would also try a different cable and different USB plug on your PC. I have the same setup and it works fine in NINA, no issues showing up as a filter wheel.

Thank you.. I had to reinstall the drivers a few times and then it worked.
