>>>?Isn't the ASI Air basically a (more expensive) raspberry pi that comes preconfigured?

In a very general sense, yes. But ZWO took the Indian foundation and built apps on top of it, so it’s customized to the point that you wouldn’t recognize it compared to say ekos.?

AAP definitely has the self-contained feel. The apps are functional and work well together (provided you only use ASI cameras, focuses, etc. though it does work with other mounts including Gemini).?

However, if you want to do something else, you are stuck. For example, their version of PHD was pulled from the open source repository some time ago, so the latest features are unavailable and some basic capabilities are limited (e.g., no backlash compensation).?

For people who enjoy fiddling or tuning things, the rPi approach is probably a better (and less expensive) approach

If so it should be running linux with INDI, EKOS and KSTARS.
You will have to install the INDi Driver (INDI is the equivalent of ASCOM on linux) for your mount then.

They can usually be found on the github repo here (with instructions to install them):

Nick,

Not having an ASI Air, I cannot say.

You'll have to experiment, or contact ZWO for their ASIAir instructions.

The Gemini-1 uses only a standard serial port at 9600 baud to pass instructions back and forth. The Gemini sysrem takes its own instruction set. That instruction set was based on the earlier Meade instruction set. Paul K is the real expert in this area.

ASCOM has these instructions in it's Gemini.net driver interface.

If some other group member knows how these parts (ASI air and Gemini-1) all fit together, please let us know the right way for Nick to proceed.

Happy holidays and a safe New Year,

Michael

Michael and Howard,

Thanks for the reply. It did take a few reboots to get back on track. It’ll be a week or so before we have clear skies to test the system.

Are there any concerns running the Gemini 1 on the ASI air pro platform? I’m not plugged into a laptop or hand controller when running.

Thanks
Nick
