NYX101 vs ASAIR compatibility - any updates?

Reviving the old thread … last update was that Pegasus was working updated drivers that (my understanding) would eventually make their way into an ASIAIR software update.

I’ve haven’t heard anything on this front from either ZWO or Pegasus. Anyone have any news or insights?

Supported USB connections - PBA vs Unity

I’m using an ASIAIR Pro and a Powerbox Advance V1 in my configuration and I would like to use Unity to look at the power draw during use however I’m unable to get Unity to connect to the PPBA in operation. I suspect the problem may be the USB-B port is occupied by the ASIAIR so my only option is to ...

Re: Need some guidance

Unfortunate that you returned the mount. The v2.1 update for the ASIAIR has a fix and others have successfully connected their AAP’s to the NYX101. It is not without its own issues (esp for Celestron AVX owners) but the initial NYX101 issue appears resolved. Details can be found in this forum and th...

PPBA v1 - does it support USB PD 3.0?

Have a 1st generation PPB Advance and I’m hoping to use it to power a Mele Quieter 3C mini-pc. The 3C has a USB-C connector for 12VDC power … it is not a full USB port but it does support USB Power Delivery 3.0. Will a 1st generation PPBA USB 3 port be able to negotiate power with the 3C and power i...

Re: Adapter for Ioptron tripier

Congrats to the PA team on the initial shipments. I know a lot of the focus would have been on getting those out the door but I’m wondering whether anyone had a chance to look at the Tri-pier adapter for the EQ=6 and confirm it works? The Tri-pier looks like a good fit with the NYX101 for heavier lo...

Re: Power questions

The only place I could find this detail is in a pop-up on the main image of the mount on it's product page that shows the max power input as 3A so the output can't be anymore. I've attached a screen shot Capture.JPG . I'm eager to see the full specs and manual for this product ... it might be just w...

Power questions

In my current setup, power flows from a LiFePO4 battery to a PPBA to everything else. If I read the specs correctly, the NYX101 supports max 3A from its output GX12 so a conservative approach would be to feed the mount and PPBA in parallel from the battery, correct? To that end, is the PEG-CABL-GX12...

Re: Mount fixing holes

What is the most straightforward way to adapt this to an HEQ5 tripod (1.75" steel)?
