Game Controller

JoeS

Would like to add Game controller to allow for easier Polar Alignment.
My setup...ASI Air Pro/EQ Mod---through USB A --> USB B/Skywatcher EQ 6-R Pro
Would like to set up with Logitech F310 game pad (USB A cable)
Anyone have any experience on how to get ASI Air Pro to communicate? And how to change the Logitech Game pad controls to settings to control RA/Dec and slew speed?
Thanks,
Joe

Sounds so cool
There are two connections for the skywatchers at present，the EQMOD and the Synscan，recommend the EQMOD

I guess I should reexplain what I do in my initial set up and what I want to do. First, I like to roughly (actually fairly close) polar align with my polar scope on the Sky-Watcher EQ 6 pro mount, then I move onto a more accurate alignment with plate solving in ASIair Pro (using an iphone and I know this is foolish and not necessary)... but the mount requires rotation of each axis to view and align. The directional (RA, Dec) buttons on the iphone are quite small for my "fat" fingers and I have seen "game controllers" as a way to control the mount ("AmyAstro-1/9/2021").

Is there any way to "teach" the ASIair Pro to connect with a "game controller" to manually move RA/Dec positions rather than using the small keypad on my iphone? EQMod allows us to add a game controller, but those settings are not visible on the ASIair software.
Thanks,
Joe

no, this is not possible

I have a small android device called the Retroid Pocket 2 which has a screen and built-in controls that can be bound as keyboard inputs. I have installed the ASIAIR app on it, and if there is even simply a way to remap the controls of the ASIAIR app to keyboard commands I am pretty sure I can get it fully functioning so that I have tactile feedback on the RA / Dec buttons and shoulder buttons to switch modes, etc (it also has s touchscreen so works there so far just fine).

Allowing input remapping is also a really great accessibility feature that would greatly expand the cusomisability and compatibility of the app with so many more devices.

Hopefully this is something we might see soon!

@Geometry Dash Since ASI Air Pro lacks native gamepad support, another option is to connect your Logitech F310 to a Windows laptop running ASIAIR app via screen mirroring (e.g., via Bluestacks or a remote desktop solution).
