ASIAIR v2.2.2 has been released!

I assume the "occasional DSO Stack crash" refers to Live Stacking. There was an issue that at times when you start stacking, no images are downloaded and no stacking takes place. You had to restart everything to get it working again.

Yesterday I was out and about with Asiair Plus and beta-firmware 2.3 (Android) + ASI2600MC Pro. Platesolving for polar alignment would not work, although 3000 stars were recognized. After a few attempts back to Preview and there Detect. Back to Polar Alignment and now the Platesolving worked.
In Preview, the scroll bar for the exposure time remained at 60 seconds and could not be changed to a longer time. In autorun mode, however, 300 seconds was also possible.
Otherwise the system worked. The meridian flip also worked perfectly.

The Firmware is still a problem
The following issues persist
The ASIAIR disconnects randomly for no reason
The sync to target in the sky Athlas is off.
There automatic copy of exposure of flats is gone!!
The guider sometimes stops working

I have contacted support with No help at all
I have returned already 1 ASIAIR plus and the new one still has the same issues

Please help
Thanks

Why nobody from ZWO responds here?
I thought this was a support forum?

Ali59 Almost 6 weeks since the 2.2.2 release, no public update since, this is not acceptable.
I'm using beta 2.2.3 (iOS), which has solved all the problems of 2.2.2.
Although there are still pb with 2.2.3, the same known pb that existed before 2.2.2, such as random disconnections, they have not been resolved.
And no response from the ZWO team.
¿ Should we switch to Nina ?

2.3 Beta does not fix the issue of my ASIAir Plus WiFi failing in station mode after a few hours. I have to power cycle the ASIAir to get it back. For now I have to use point-to-point network and with the crappy range I have to be within 10 meters. The only thing that works consistently is direct wired ethernet which is a PITA.

hyiger Unfortunately I'm experiencing the exact same failure plus a few others. My wife and I recently moved from Connecticut to Florida. I was unable to set up my system and use it again for a number of months. Of course when I was able to get back to imaging I also needed to update my system to v2.2.2. I did have one short evening of trouble free operation including a perfectly preformed Meridian Flip. Since then however I'm haunted by non stop disconnect from station mode issues, plate solving issues, failure to center, filter focusing issues as well. As you mentioned sometimes I have to power cycle the ASIAir to restore the station mode operation. About the only thing that seems to be working well has been my guiding, of all things !! :-)
To be honest the unreliability of the AISAir has really taken a lot of enjoyment out of this very expensive as well as challenging hobby for me. I never know what to expect next.
I noticed back on Oct 28 ( a month ago) W7ay posted a list of "fixes" for I assume the v2.2.2 update. Unfortunately I don't see the issues I am having listed. I am just one update away from moving on from this easy as 1,2,3 stuff !!

I have this current version and for some reason my live isnt recording to the device. I keep getting a drop down saying "stack failed" at one point it did record but still nothing.
anyone having the same issue?

Corsair

Byrdsfan1948 what device do you use to run the ASIAIR App?

Byrdsfan1948

Corsair Hi Corsair, I typically use my Samsung Galaxy Tablet A... However I will from time to time use my iPhone 12. Since I have been here in Florida due to the high humidity during the Summer and most of the Fall seasons I have only recently been able to start imaging again now that we are getting some perfectly clear and dry nights. Tonight and tomorrow night look like they will be perfect for imaging. I will try using my iPhone to see if that makes any difference.
What really bugs me about the Station Mode disconnect issue is that it seems to be so random. I have tried several different ways to connect that way. Both work. I can connect directly from the ASiAir in the yard to my home network. Or I can connect with an extender which I can then locate my Tablet very close to. Both signals show as strong. The image downloads are very fast usually 1.5 to 2.5 mbs.
Of course the WiFi signal coming from the ASIAir never has been anything to brag about. So I'm wondering if the real problem is some greater instability in that signal than in previous releases? With that in mind another possibility I might try would be a direct Ethernet connection between the ASIAir and my extender. I did typically use that method in Connecticut rather than Station Mode because I could plug directly into my home WiFi router. Not so easy here.
GRRRR. it shouldn't have to be this hard!!!!! This hobby is challenging enough. If this keeps up I may go back to playing my guitars :-)

I gave up - I downgraded to 2.1.5 and 11.0x. Everything is working again without any problems !
Killed the automatic upgrade in Android as well.

Byrdsfan1948

Landy100at I'm a bit computer handicapped this way. But if possible in a few words how did you do that? I am very willing to try. Thanks. Al

Corsair

Landy100at I still run 2.1 - 10.74.

Not to you specifically, but just in general, if you use Android or BlueStacks 5 (which is Android) you can pick and choose the firmware/app version you run.

And always turn off automatic updates of the ASIAIR App (will have to be all apps on iOS/iPadOS) on your device (your device controls this - not ZWO)

See this thread to downgrade using Android:
https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/18885-how-to-downgraderollback-asiair-app-firmware-with-android

If you have iOS or iPadOS see this thread:

Hi all,
I have some probem in upgrading my Asiair plus to the next Firmware version.
Everytime I try to update it, after a very fast Firmware transfer, the installation step arrives until 20-25%; after this point it jumps at 83-85% and the installation fails.
It happens using both iPhone or iPad App and didn't happend updating another Asiair plus.
The same thing happens if I try a reset (or restore to a precedent version).
Is there a way to restore the AsiAir OS or verifying if ther is an incomplete update in the emmc? (i.e. due to an alimentation problem).

Thanks

p.s. there are 4 screenshots of the update sequence.

Corsair Thank you very much. I'm going to try this solution .... when weather will permit it to me.

Corsair

maxmarchini you can do this with the ASIAIR indoors, though. Doesn't, and shouldn't, be connected to anything.

Fining that after meridian flip the object target is no longer centered. Suggest a setting to recenter target after flip. 🙏🙏🙏

maxmarchini

Not working. After the on/off process no reset windows appair, but the same update windows and the AA+ doesn't update.
I think there is an os bug but there isn't a resolution (I'm waiting an answer by zwo support from months).

Corsair

maxmarchini what ASIAIR model do you have again? Pro, mini, plus 32GB, or plus 256GB?
