ASIAIR v2.2.2 Public Beta Released!

RLamb High Point Scientific. See the ASIAIR 256GB (2024). There is a section titled "Good Connectivity Options". It discusses the addition of Bluetooth to the 2024 version. I have this version and can confirm that BLE will control an AM3 mount. ( however software 2.2.1 was so buggy i went back to a beta version, 2.1.3, that i've been using for a while)

FYI the asiair 32gb based on the Raspberry Pi CM4 has Bluetooth hardware support so in theory a simple software update could enable it.

Corporate customers can order custom Raspberry Pi 4 boards - which is probably what ZWO did.

Since the ASIAIR Plus 256GB model isn't Raspberry Pi based there's a chance it does have a Bluetooth module. Need it confirmed, though, because there's nothing about it on the product page for it. https://www.zwoastro.com/product/asiair-plus/

Interesting to hear, That implies they would have had to order a custom wifi module specifically without Bluetooth because the stock CM4 wifi module actually includes both. The Bluetooth part or wifi part can be disabled individually by strapping pins on the CM4 connector. They can also disable each by using dtoverlay options in the /boot/config.txt or by leaving it out in the support in the compiled kernel. It would be interesting to hear more...
