Hello everyone.

Regarding the network connection problem, we have paid attention to your comments and error reports. We are analyzing and trying to solve the problem.

We recommend that you try to roll back the firmware - uninstall the APP - download the latest software package in the APP store and upgrade the firmware; in addition, you can also try to connect the LAN port of ASIAIR to the LAN port on the home router.

We will solve the problem as soon as possible, thank you for your support.

I updated last night for my asi air mini. All was well for 3o min of focusing , Slewed to my object and did some last minute shots for focusing.... and then my ipad AND phone lost the asiair wifi signal..its just not broadcasting- couldn't find the mini. Could this recent firmware update be the issue? Going to try reset next as rebooting didn't help. the computer boots up and gives the signal its wifi hotspot is ready but now I cant find.....

Bibi64

jgoldsmith from last update I have a lot of problem, my A6000 often don't transfer data to Tablet, the Asiar plus sometimes do restart, and last but not least, go-to does not work!!! I'm sad...

azskyguy

WiFi has been terrible last couple of updates. It's not you or your equipment...I've reported it and other issues and sent logs. Hopefully soon....

jgoldsmith

appreciate - I really don't know what else I can do. just went home and tried a reset and still - NO ASIAIRxxx hotspot on any of devices. all the lights are blinking according to the troubleshooting screens on app- wifi, power and sys.....

I cannot access this box with pc since its a mini and no ethernet port. I really am not sure what to do next. I bought in January and up through last night was seamless and now poof! cannot play. 🙁

jgoldsmith

update. thanks to azskyguy. I did factory reset and it is now detectable. trying now to update firmware and hoping it holds. at least this is software issue not hardware. Clear Skies!!

Hi. With this new release and even during the beta period, I'm experiencing an issue with the SkyWatcher Star Adventurer GTi that I haven't had in previous iterations.

When I'm guiding for about 2-2:30 hours the mount suddenly starts moving in declination for no reason . I mean, it moves as if it is looking for another object when I'm just doing an Autorun session. Have Meridian flip disabled and I'm actually shooting far from it.

So, in order to make it works again, I have to disable the mount in the ASIAir Plus, switch off the mount and star over. I have checked all the possible options that could be interfering in the mount software, but all them are disabled.

I'm using EQMod in the ASIAir ( have tried other SkyWatcher options but never works as well as EQMod ). Any idea what can cause this? As I said, I haven't seen this behavior in previos versions. Thank you.

minimoto71

minimoto71 I have tried with a different system ( INDIGOSky ) with the SynScan driver and it happens the same. So it's not an ASIAir related issue but an SW Star Adventurer GTi one. I will contact the reseller to get assistance as I can't find anyone with the same issue on internet.

jgoldsmith

Just an update. I reinstalled firmware update and my asiair mini again dropped off as a detectable wifi spot. I repeated factory install and got it working again..so this firmware update is very flawed. Hope it gets fixed soon.....

While in the field, my friend was having issues with his connectivity. He finally figured out to take the Asiair off of Station Mode while not connecting to it and it fixed his issue.

Hi.
I updated my AA+ to 2.2.2. version. And It performed beautifully for 2 nights straight.

Only issues that I had were that guiding went off a bit....but honestly I think it was beacuse heavy due forming on the scope. Another issue was that the scope did not slew to exact "Home position" . It slews to its vicinity.

Thank you,
J

I lost WiFi once with the ASIAir Plus. I had to reboot it to get the WiFi SID to broadcast again. There are still a few annoying UI bugs that I wish would get fixed. Otherwise, it seems OK so far. I have to say that the quality seems to be getting worse with each update however.

Another issue is if I turn on the AM5 first, the ASIAir won't boot. I have to turn off the AM5 and wait for the Air to boot up before turning it back on.

I'm also experiencing the wifi issue others are mentioning since updating to 2.2.2 11.30

The symptoms are:

Regular boot-up, with normal signal LEDs
Does not broadcast access point, and does not connect to router for station mode

The solution is:

Hold down the reset button for about 5 seconds to reset wifi, and wait until wifi light stops blinking. AP and Station Mode will remain non-functional until after the next step.
Disconnect power from the device (I leave it unplugged for about 10 seconds) and then plug it back in.
Access point will become available after boot-up, and station mode will have to be reactivated under the ASIAIR Networks options. (Thankfully station mode network login details are retained).
Repeat any time you have to power cycle the device :-(

Actions that don't seem to fix it:

Resetting wifi without power-cycling the device afterward.
Power-cycling the device without doing a wifi reset first.
Rolling back to factory firmware and reinstalling 2.2.2 11.30

David1303

synth That is the only way I can get it to work. Reinstalling software stalls when it can't find it's own AP on restarting!! I have lodged a bug report.

David1303

synth Further to previous post this is the reply to my bug report “ Thank you for your feedback.
We've reproduced the issue and found a solution. We'll release a version soon, so wait a minute.”

Sony A7rV is still not working properly to control the cameras on both the ASIAir Plus and mini. Both still require a manual shutter release cable.

Swizerlan

nhmorgan can asi air run the shutter cable?

I now have a new issue since the update. My rig doesn't go to home position and rig stopped focusing last night. Up until the recent update, everything was running perfectly.

dmacsee

Hello all. Is it possible to revert backwards from the 2.2.2 update? Since that update, my ASIAir keeps crashing on my iPAD. Also having trouble finding and connecting to its WiFi network.

Before the update, it was perfect. Never any problems.

I've been told that unless you are an Apple platform, there is a way to go back. I am on Apple so no hope for me. Unfortunately, ZWO does not allow you to keep your old firmware. You must upgrade after the first "not now" you select.

unfortunately going back to previous version on iOS/iPadOS isn't really that simple.

See this post by @w7ay : https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/13463-asiair-pro-how-to-go-back-to-earlier-firmware/9

If you're on Android you can, though;
https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/18885-how-to-downgraderollback-asiair-app-firmware-with-android

The reason for this is the app is directly matched with the ASIAIR firmware. So if you update the app on your device - this will then trigger a firmware update on the ASIAIR.

It's why it is recommended to turn off auto updates of the ASIAIR App. You can do this for the ASIAIR App via the Play Store App on Android. For iOS/iPadOS, though, it'll be done for all apps via the App Store App (I think).

In Apple Settings, set the Apple setting, set OFF the automatic updates. Unfortunately, this applies for all APPS !
Then, go to ASIAIR / personal Settings and make a reset.
Then start everything new.
Now you can be review the updates before.

Redrig51

Lost guiding, lost wifi connection this update sucks!

JTSAN

Redrig51

Hopefully there will be another update soon that fixes all these issues.

Redrig51

JTSAN I get it that there will always be issues with updates, but why isnt there a feature to revert to a previous release when updates go south, we don’t get that many clear nights in the UK and it’s annoying when it happens.

JTSAN

Are you on a Mac or Windows platform. I think the Windows version allows you to go back with no issue. On the Mac, you need to have some other app in place ( I think) that will allow you to do that as well. It's been well documented in Cloudy Nights, so check it out or do Google search..
