ASIAIR v2.2 has been released!: Page 3

ASIAIR v2.2 has been released!

As many experienced, ASIAir on my Google Pixel 7a crashed when I tapped "Enter Device" last night. Then, I downloaded and installed the version 2.2.1 from the ZWO website. The crash was gone and ASIAir seemed to work fine.

However, ZWO EAF is now very unstable. It's quite often disconnected suddenly and ASIAir shows "New Device Detected" or something and I have to tap "EAF" icon at the upper right and choose "EAF_1" manually. Then, when I started Auto Focus manually, four out of five attempts failed with a message "Abnormal or movement range not enough, try adjusting the step size". I changed the step size like 20, 30, 50, 60 or 100. None of them fixed the problem. The EAF's backlash was set to 30, by the way. The same thing happened when the auto focus was kicked during an autorun (every 1 hour). The auto focus failed and the shooting resumed quickly. So, I guessed the frame would be out of focus and I paused / stopped the autorun.

EAF worked just fine with the previous version. So, please fix the problem! Or tell me how to install the previous version of ASIAir and roll the firmware of ASIAir Plus back to the previous version!

wzhou40555 I think so as well.Guiding calibrating is not working well at all.Even after calibrating is done it keeps losing the star or the values are changing fast from 0.9 to 4...Horrible.After uninstalling it and reverting to an older version like 2.1.0 .74 guiding works well.So this version also has a bug.
I wonder if the team really test the software before release.Since the version 2.1.5 which had a location bug,now this one solved the location problem but has a bug in guiding.And still didn't add phd2 guide assistant which has been requested by many of us. Also had a problem with frequent disconnecting.I'd rather use an older and simpler version that is perfect functional then a fancy version with lots of addons but less functionality.
PMTeam@ZWO: when will you add the phd2 guide asisstant which has been requested long time ago?Thanks.

larkin The exact same issue I experienced for last 2 nights with guiding.

Using it remotely. There seems to be a problem with location and/or time. Every night it starts a merdian flip more than 30 minutes early. It just goes and does it, it didn't even do the 5 minutes pause I have it set to.

Sorry to be rude ZWO but you screwed up. This firmware and app version is really bad. Please rollback the previous one and test your stuff next time before publishing it.

Hi Is it possible for you to do a custom park position for the AM5N Mount. there are a lot of users using ASIAIR and AM5 mounts now in observatory's and it would be very good to be able to set a custom park position to be safe when closing the roofs i see you have now put a park position in the ascom driver but would be very nice to have it in ASIAIR Thank You

Currently investigating AA+ PA mode driving IOptron CEM70G past 60deg into mount stop. Not sure if this is update issue but coincidentally occurred after update. Worked flawlessly for last two years. Detail situation was during step two of PA procedure, AA+ moved mount to 60Deg position, paused for half second, then restarted moving to full RA rotation driving mount into stall before I could shut down. Will spend today to troubleshoot/verify mount working properly but wanted to ask if other users have experienced similar issue.

There was the nice feature to auto fill Auto Flats expoosure and swiftly change to Dark for Flats fo Darks. Not Sure why ZWO took this away? Now one has to go back to image management, check the exposure length in File Name and input this value back. Could you restore the EDITABLE Field back in the app?

@PMTeam@ZWO

Yes, it's really unfortunate that you now have to set the time manually when I switch from flats to dark(flats)

Please change it again

Did Any one face Guiding issues? My Guiding fell off every 4-5 images for some reason (Good conditions, everything was secure). Total error jumped from 0.35 / 0.5 to 8/10 high numbers. All I could do was restart guiding frequently.

This may already be a known issue but since updating two different ASIAir's I'm no longer able to browse and download files from them across my local network. I don't how important that feature was to others since I can just use a USB drive to copy the files but whatever it was the update seems to have broken that function.
The folder still shows up under Finder on OSX but you can't access anything... the share doesn't even show on a Windows PC.

Works fine here under Sonoma 14.6.1 running on an M1 Mac Studio, and ASIAIR running 2.2(11.24). I had no problem though the v2 beta releases, either.

I just confirmed by mounting the ASIAIR Samba server (ASIAIR outdoors, connected to the home eero network through Ethernet) using the macos Go menu. Logged in as Guest, and I successfully drag-copied a file from the ASIAIR Udisk Images volume to my macos Desktop. I have been copying lots of files in the past two weeks without any problem.

If you can mount the ASIAIR volume on the macos Desktop (it seems that you can), single click on the icon of the volume and do a Command-I (get info). In the small info window, scroll all the way to the bottom and look for the Sharing and Permissions group. Do you have Read & Write privilege?

I would have noticed any problem during Beta, since the ASIAIR is locked up with a SSD drive inside an ABS box outdoors, and accessing any USB stick would have been a royal pain.

Perhaps it is an issue between the router and ASIAIR since it also affects a Windows machine?
