Gem45 and skysafari

astrosatch

Hi. I just receive Ioptron gem45 and can't connect it to skysafari. It works in asiair pro, but there is no option for gem45 in skysafari. I tried every ioptron option and it doesn't work.
Is there a way to connect it?

Thank you,

Andrej

How do you connect the mount, which cable?
Direct USB from mount typeB to ASIAir USB 2.0?
In SkySafari, you keep it connected via WiFi.
Select the iOptron CEM one, should work fine.
Once connected to ASIAir Wifi, you should be able to connect SkySafari...as if ASIAir was a WiFi dongle

I tried exactly like this and still doesn't connect. What port number should I use?

sebriviere

if you can specify: IP 10.0.0.1 port 4030.
Providing you connect directly to ASIAir Wifi.
if you connect through STA mode, like home network, then you need to use the ASIAir IP, same port.

Thank you for your reply .Will try that when I get home. Shall I put 10.0.0.1? In asiair app is different ip and it doesn't work. I connect directly through tp link extender, no sta or home network.

If you connect through TPlink, check the network tab in ASIAir. it should display the Asiair IP (WiFi or Ethernet...)
in SkySafary, this is the IP with port 4030 you should fill there.
Even through TPLink, ASIAir should still run its own WiFi, I suggest you try connecting directly to it first, to check connection with Skysafari and most default settings... once all up and running, then connect to TPLink and try with ASIAir IP/4030.

SkySafari 6 for iPhone was just updated with "better support for connecting to mounts over a local network".

Thank you guys for your help. I updated skysafari on android and it worked. 😀 All good now.
