ASIAIR v2.4.1 has been released!

Luxo Glad at least one thing got sorted.

Can't help you with the CAA, unfrotunately, as I don't have one nor do I intend on purchasing one.

I wholeheartedly agree that the manual needs to be seriously updated (the current version of the ASIAIR Plus Manual here - https://www.yuque.com/zwopkb/air_plus - is needs to be updated and also, in some cases, refers to the ASIAIR Manual here - https://www.yuque.com/zwopkb/asiair - which also needs updating).

I do know that @PMTeam@ZWO @Tech@ZWO have said (either here or in the official Facebook Group here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/ASIAIR) that they are working on it. Guess it will take time.

Sorry I don’t use social media - Facebook, X or the rest - and they’re all blocked here. Including YouTube.

Corsair , and
@ZWO:

Re your "manuals".

When you update your manual it is important to call out the key steps or buttons on the screenshots, as I did. Many of your pages on yuque are meaningless without this.
In my country we do have beautiful clear dark sky sites - but we do not have internet everywhere as you do in China. Often there is NO INTERNET for 50km, so your yuque pages are not accessible at such locations. Internet pages are not helpful. Please publish your manual as a downloadable PDF so we can keep the whole thing locally, or even print it.
It would be best if the correct version of your manual - as a PDF - was part of the application download, so that the documentation matches the software version. Then let the user launch the PDF from within ASIAir.

Updated mine (I've filled a few gaps). https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/033Xb6NQyPiN2amUA31RYNOOw#ASIAir_Missing_Manual_0.4

Last night I did run into a CAA and meridian flip issue. It was set to 180 degree range but it tried to rotate from 179.374 degrees to 359.069 degrees. And since 359.069 degrees rotated the EFW to below it hit the peer. So meridian flip failed because CAA encountered an obstruction and the ASIAIR cancelled the plan and shut down. Nothing broken or damaged but it cost me half the night of imaging. Tonight I’m going to do another run but I’ll make sure to set the right orientation and then shut down CAA to prevent another meridian flip fail.
I’ve submitted an error report in the ASIAIR app. Hopefully it gets a fix. It would be really useful being able to avoid having the EFW turned upside down. Especially when the meridian flip occurs when the object is close to zenith.

Sigh.

I just tried a meridian flip with rotation range set to 180 - you’re right the CAA still rotates.

This is NOT FIXED.

@ZWO - please remove the range limit and replace that with a BUTTON to set autorotate after meridian flip ON or OFF. And please TEST it and make sure this works.

I’m now replacing the CAA again with a manual rotator as I cannot allow it to do this.

Corsair

Luxo ah k. The links to manuals (which ZWO need to update), though, aren't youtube links. Just confirming that .

I have waited a long long time. No canon r8 update. They said they would do it. NOTHING. ZWO make an update soon. I’m sick of checking to see if it is supported. This is just sad. You gotta do better.

I would like to see a Nikon Z6iii on the list too.

Luxo

Looks like development has stalled, and the TestFlight version of 2.3.3 expires soon.

@ZWO - please make 2.3.3 available as a proper update with no time limit - eg by releasing it properly as 2.4.9.

Otherwise ASIAir will be no more use than a paperweight in a few days time.

Corsair

Luxo just an FYI - if you want to tag ZWO in your posts you're tagging the wrong account
You need tag @Tech@ZWO and @PMTeam@ZWO

What do you mean expires soon??? Do these updates have a ticking clock and they become bookends? I just sold my ASIAIR Pro 256G and it was running 2.3.3. I need to let the buyer know.

Luxo

The last “stable” version 2.3.3 was re-released in TestFlight and has a time limit which expires at the end of August.

After that… if the only option is the buggy 2.4.1 I’ll replace the ASIAir with a PC.

Luxo

jimw85044 sorry I just checked - 2.3.3 expires in 7 days - 21 August.

PMTeam@ZWO I also got an exposure failed on 2600MC air. Autorun using 300s exposures. It didnt even reatttempt to continue the autorun and just shut it down completely.

PMTeam@ZWO W jakim terminie zostanie wydana wersja bez błędów. Minęło już ponad miesiąc a nic w tym temacie się nie dzieje. Dotychczasowa poprawka fatanego błędu aplikacji została załatana tymczasowo. Błędy sie powtarzaja.

If 2.3.3 stopped, my Solution : TOUCH-N-STARS + Nina + Mini PC Remote........

Also remember that, for iOS or iPadOS, to disable auto updates of the ASIAIR App, Apple only let's you disable auto update for all apps. Apple doesn't let you disable auto update for individual apps.

However, I think this is right, if you install the app from TestFlight then that App doesn't auto update (not sure if that's a setting you have to enable or something, though).

On Android:
you can install any version any time you like for however long you want (there's a thread here https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/18885-how-to-downgraderollback-asiair-app-firmware-with-android).

You can also turn off auto update for just the ASIAIR App on Android.
