Re: Unable to connect via mount WiFi

As far as I know, - Mount must be connected by USB to Laptop. - Mount must be connected to internet over its internal WiFi. - Run Unity on Laptop to kick off firmware update. - Mount MUST download and install update directly from internet over WiFi. I have updated mount firmware several times as des...

I also just had success with the latest mount firmware update using my Windows 11 Laptop, after cleaning up the windows firewall as suggested by Evans.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Firmware update via Unity under WIN11 fails

Thanks Evans,

I also had two entries in the Firewall settings, one Public and one Private.
I deleted them both then recreated s single setting with both Private and Public enabled.
I will try it out at the next upgrade, same as ChrisHD.

Re: Firmware update via Unity under WIN11 fails

[Why does a Firmware upgrade work under WIN 10 but not under WIN11 if everything else is the same?] I have the same problem and I don't have any real idea why. [By writing this I recognize that there is a difference! My WIN10 Notebook is connected to my home network via cable! I missed that when I’m...

Re: USing the Nyx with a battery power source

Hi Mike, This may not be too helpful but is all I have. I use a 12V battery (LiFePO4, 12.8 V 36 Ah by Miady) feeding my Nyx 101 directly. Another 12V feed goes directly to a Pegasus USB Control Hub which feeds & talks to the Guide Camera; talks to local Laptop, camera (self powered Nikon Z6ii) a...

Re: User Experiences

I can't answer most of your questions as my rig is much lighter. My tests so far have been with my travel 80mm / 480mm Triplet refractor, payload total 4.5kg. It has all gone well. Guided at 2sec in PHD2. My main scope is a 125mm / 740mm APO, total payload 10.5kg. Will be used next time we get clear...

Re: Need some guidance

Hi Kathie, Thanks for the update. You are very welcome. I did read all about the ZWO blocking Pegasus issue on CN. I don't use my ASI Air anymore as I had to buy ZWO cameras to continue with it. So this problem didn't affect me. For control, I tried my StellarMate on a Raspberry Pi 4 but got tangled...

Re: First severe problem

This is an uninformed wild guess, but - maybe a belt came off with the abrupt cutting of the power ?

In this way the motor can run, with sound, but no movement of the axis.

Good luck in any case.

Re: NYX-101 and EKOS/IndiLib

Thanks for the update and the wishes.

I will have a go with the Astroberry distribution one day. I haven't given up with StellarMate, but I want to spend my time on imaging at the moment :D
The Nyx 101 is very well designed.

Re: NYX-101 and EKOS/IndiLib

Hi, I have tried setting up StellarMate on RPi 4, 4GB. I bought these to control this mount. Generally OK, but I did have three issues. I am inexperienced in StellarMate / INDI / ekos, so could easily be just that. I was using VNC from a windows Laptop as my terminal, all that worked fine. 1. Initia...

Re: Problems creating a local network for managing the mount

Thanks for your post. It has saved me a lot of messing about. I was planning a similar approach to your original one. i.e. Mount side Surface Go as the local controller on NINA with remote access from Dell Laptop in the warm, all using the Nyx 101 as the WiFi Access Point. In my case I have the Nyx ...
