Release71725
Pre-release
Improving reliability of the connection. Also fixes a problem with RGGB Raw mode where a Green channel was set to zero. All the settings are now saved to the ASCOM registry. The driver auto detects between Sharpcap and NINA. The driver has been tested with K1, K1ii, KP, and 645Z with good success.
Pre-release for testing. This release ensures you are in Manual mode. There is also an option to keep all captured DNG files in the temp folder.
First download and install Sharpcap 64bit:
https://d.sharpcap.co.uk/download.html?version=4.1.13484.0&arch=x64
Next download and install ASCOM. You should get this version if possible:
ASCOMPlatform702.4675.exe
https://github.com/ASCOMInitiative/ASCOMPlatform/releases/download/v7.0.2/AscomPlatform702.4675.exe
Finally, download and unzip Release71725.zip to a long term location. Run install.bat by double clicking on it.
Turn on your camera and make sure the USB mode is set to MTP/PTP mode. Set the Camera to M mode and shutter to Electronic Shutter. Connect your camera to the computer and make sure it is recognized as a camera.
Open Sharpcap. Select the Camera menu and you should see Pentax KP/K1/645Z. Select Pentax KP/K1/645Z and a dialog box should show up. Inside the dialog you should see a drop down where you can select your Camera. Click on OK.
Updated to run faster. Also updated to try to handle canceling exposures are well as possible. DSLR cameras can't stop exposing except in Bulb mode which is not supported in the Ricoh SDK. This version has been tested in both NINA and Sharpcap with a KP camera.
Please note that the driver cannot always detect if the camera has actually fired because of limitations of the SDK.

This will present itself as an error that the image was never returned to Sharpcap or NINA. In these cases please disconnect your camera and test with the shutter button without changing any other settings to see if the camera can fire. If it can't then try to figure out what setting is stopping it.
