Can't connect mount via WIFI issue and "Orion Atlas/Sirius" driver issue

vancoz

Hello, I have orion sirius(HEQG5) mount, and I was able to connect it only via USB cable and EQMOD driver (PC direct mode).

All other ways has issues:

1. using Sky-Watcher USA Synscan WiFi Adapter, Black (S30103). I did follow https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/manuals/ASIAIR_Sky-Watcher_AZ-GTI.pdf and was able to connect Synscan WiFi Adapter to ASIAIR wifi. And when my iphone/ipad connected to ASIAIR wifi too - I can use SynScan Pro app and control the mount, but when I'm trying to connect mount in telescope setting - it does not work - tried different drivers and ports (11880, 11882) - but unfortunately it does not work.

2. When I do connect mount via "Orion Atlas/Sirius" driver and RS232-USB, I can connect mount(after align), sync time and coordinates, and manually control mount and slew, and even park the mount. But it does not work when I'm trying to do "Go to" to object. It states "Slewing mount" - but nothing happens.

Can you please help?

Thank you.

Hello Vancoz,

#1 Could you please confirm it's eg: 10.0.0.xx in the ASIAIR Telescope Settings page? The driver should be .

#2 Sometimes this issue happened, please check the RA/DEC of your mount under the ASIAIR app Telescope Settings page, if they are 00°00'00'', then the GoTo can not work.

If it's okay, please send me some screenshots: ji@zwoptical.com. That would be more helpful to figure out.

Hello Ji,

1. I tried to use IP 10.0.10 or 127.0.0.1 (tried to connect to SynScan Pro running on my ipad) and port 11880 or 11882. 10.0.0.10 - is manually entered IP address, I've connected wifi adapter to ASIAIR network using client connection. And it worked (connection itself) because after that, I was able to connect to ASIAIR wifi and run SynScan PRO on ipad and it was working! I was able to connect to mount via SynScan Pro and slew, set settings etc. But was not able to connect mount to ASIAIR. Really looking forward to use my wifi module to connect mount to ASIAIR (Sky-Watcher USA Synscan WiFi Adapter, Black (S30103)), I think it's better then cable connection - eliminates one more cable, do not need to cary hand controller etc.

2. Will try it next clear night.

I forget to add another interesting fact, when I connect using "Orion Atlas/Sirius" driver and RS232-USB type of connection, I can manually slew, park scope + I can perform ASIAIR polar alignment! Only goto does not work, it just can't move the mount to position, but ASIAIR pretend it does, after slewing it takes the picture, plate-solves it and states that it's too far from object.

Thank you,

Ivan

Hi Ji,

update - I've successfully connected ASIAIR to my mount via WIFI :) Thank you for your help.

Regarding issue #2, I've tried to check if mount and ASIAIR in sync, and looks like it has correct position and it's not 00 00 00, please have a look at the picture https://i.ibb.co/HKHQLfZ/IMG-2392.jpg (GPS coordinates the same too).

Also using this connection type - I can manually control mount, park it and polar align, only go to does not work for some reason (and it works using EQMOD connection type).

Thank you,

Ivan
