I use an Andoroid terminal. In the case of iOS, SkySafari cannot be connected on the device used with ASiair. You must always use two iOS devices. For Android, you can connect with one or two.
@@masaschumit1502 Thanks for the reply. I can confirm that your method with Skysafari works brilliantly with my old android tablet (I haven't tried with 2 devices on iOS), and that IP and port settings are exactly as in your video (including 11882 AND 11880:) I am very grateful for your video - it is the best I can find for going through setting up wifi control of the mount with all this functionality. I have a few additional comments which may help others without much experience, like me. First to say, this process is for the skywatcher Az-GTi mount and other skywatcher mounts which use the "synscan wifi dongle", which means you don't need a handcontroller or any special usb cables connecting to the mount. Suggest start with all apps closed and equipment (mount and asiair) off. Then turn on the Az-GTi or other mount, which turns the (Synscan) wifi on. Connect the tablet to that wifi, and then open Synscan Pro app and "connect". Then, after powering up Asiair device, switch to Asiair wifi ("A" in the video, mine is "ASIAIR_bcdetc"), and then open asiair app (don't close the synscan app - be familiar with how to switch between open apps!). On my version of the asiair app, a connection page comes up first, on which you just need to press "Enter" to get to the main screen. On asiair wifi settings, and its telescope page, mine was already populated with the correct settings. On telescope page, just "Sync to Mount". Then open skysafari plus, and continue as in video, switching apps when necessary. Tips- don't "close" any app pages; if needing other pages, "go back" with generic tablet button. Also, don't give up if it doesn't work - just try again, from the beginning, until everything is settled and "auto-populated". Hope this helps - easy when you've got it working! Thanks again for a brilliant video on a topic with lots of logical steps. Peter
The IP and Port are correct, and SkySafari and the mount connect as you can see in the video. There are the following points to note. ・ Before launching SkySafari, connect your smartphone to Synscan WiFi. ・Next, launch the Synscan Pro app and complete the mount and connection in equatorial mode. ・SynScan Pro should never be closed. ・ Then, switch the smartphone's WiFi to ASiair's WiFi. And launch SkySafari and set it up.
Sorry but this is the worst way to do am instructional video.
Thanks for the tutorial. Can this be used with iOS? - I cannot get it to connect to Skysafari (one iOS device)
