Bugs, bugs, and more bugs — has anyone mentioned that this update is full of bugs? I preferred the version from a few months ago: zero issues and super easy to use. My AM3 keeps disconnecting tracking and devices. The guide doesn’t follow the gain properly and also struggles to connect.

I want the old version back, and maybe with the addition of dual setup with dither.

Tested the 2.3.3 version with CAA.
The 180 degree limit with Asiair sometimes does not work, the behavior is random.
I have now done 20 sessions with the CAA and I have verified that sometimes everything goes well and when the meridian changes the CAA stays in its place. Other times the CAA decides on its own to rotate, despite the 180 setting.
Now I limit myself to using it to remotely center the frame and then disconnect it to avoid trouble. Unfortunately in this way I give up subjects with mixed vertical and horizontal frames.
The software with unreliable behavior absolutely needs to be resolved.

This version has rendered my Nikon Z6II unusable. Exposure failure. Please advise. Also at first, auto centering was disabled, so it wasn't plate solving during goto. Fixed that. The ASAIR is working with my ASI678MC, but the Nikon is my main camera and I need it to work as it did before the update. I tried switching out usb cables, but it had no effect.
There should be an option to refuse the updates. Everything was working perfectly before the update.

Once again ZWO have an update with bugs, the first time I start the asiair mini wifi works ok but if I shut it down then start again wifi fails, then I need to reset it many times before wifi works again. Then plate solving fails unless I turn off the advanced setting button, then it will plate solve. But now the guiding is terrible compared to a few months ago.
I'm using a Juwei 17 mount and was averaging between .4 and .8, now it's around 1.5 to 2. I've played around a lot with various settings but to no avail. ZWO need to field test firmware updates far more than they do if any at all.
Looks like I'll be firing up NINA again with my mini pc again although it's too advanced for my needs, it works most of the time . I dislike having multiple windows open on my laptop and trying to navigate on a small screen. That's the beauty of the asiair mini and pluses, simplicity and usually reliable until recently. I hope ZWO can send a quick update to remedy these problems. Very frustrating to waist valuable clear nights. : : :

It has gotten even worse. Now the wifi drops out after only a few minutes. My Nikon Z6II cannot take an exposure longer than 1 second before getting the exposure failure message. This update has ruined my first clear night in two weeks. This is totally unacceptable. You should not force updates on us. We should have the option of not updating. I am ready to learn NINA. Please fix this now!

OK, Here's the update. It turns out that I had to reset my camera settings. Even though the saved settings were working before the update. The customer profile had to be deleted and reinstated. All is working well now. Now let's see if the clouds ever part again.

Hello @PMTeam@ZWO ,
I am experiencing frequent disconnection issues between the ASIAIR and my iPhone. Although the WiFi link remains active, the ASIAIR app fails to detect or connect to the device.

I have tested both 5G and 2.4G WiFi bands. Station mode is off. The AM3 mount is connected to the ASIAIR via Bluetooth.
My setup includes the ASI585MC Pro as the main camera and the ASI662 as the guide camera. The ASIAIR, mount, and cameras are powered by three separate 12V power supplies.

The disconnection seems to occur randomly. When it happens, I am able to restore the connection by pressing the WiFi button on the ASIAIR to reset the wireless link.

This issue is becoming quite frustrating. Is there any log file—either from the ASIAIR app or the ASIAIR device itself—that I could provide to help troubleshoot this issue?

Best regards,
Paolo

Hello PMTeam@ZWO,
why is the CAA rotator not recognized during power on like other ZWO components (EAA, AM3 mount)? I always have to enable/activated the CAA manually after power-up.
Best regards,
Ralph

My Asiair Plus is useless. It keeps disconnecting no matter what, even in station mode with the home wifi or a mini router, even with withered Ethernet, with the phone directly connected to the Asiair. Without it the mount is also useless, it's totally broken and frustrating. Once it looses connection it won't reconnect. The only solution is turning everything off and starting again just to get more disconnect issues.

It happens randomly and I have to be all the session looking if it's still working because if it disconnect it leaves my Sony camera shutter opened and it has made me exposures of literally 22 minutes. Going to any location has been a waste of gasoline and time because what controls everything just doesn't work.

Salve, ho fatto l’aggiornamento ma ora non funziona piu ne il goto, ne le alimentazioni supplementari. Se provo ad alimentare anche solo la montatura si disconnette dal cellulare. Sembra che manca corrente elettrica necessaria a far funzionare tutto. Se accendo solo asiair si connette bene ma devo alimentare tutti gli altri dispositivi separatamente da alimentatore esterno. Poi il goto non va piu a buon fine. Perche gli aggiornamenti non si provano bene prima del rilascio ?
