So I just got a pi4 and successfully installed stellarmate  OS on it. I am using an ipad with stellarmate app- I can connect to the SM and make an equipment profile, I am able to detect the sony cameras and my EAF (dont have mount connected yet). I try to start the session and it it starts but then I can't control anything and can't get the cameras to work (focuser either)


the app also seems buggy and touching the tabs sometimes doesn't do anything.

I almost went this route when I got started in AP but ended up doing zwo asi sine it seemed simpler and less torublesome. Now I want a second setup to control my sony cameras so It hought I would try this (and maybe ditch zwo asi if it worked well). 

i've tried different settings in each camera to conenct- seemed to work when I turned PC remote on and then default to pc connection over USB for the a6500. stellarate seems to conenct when I start the session but nothing works. what's going on?

does the ios app just not work? I would rather not use the desktop app. 

so far I'm not sure what's going on.

Did you check the camera documentation here? indilib.org/ccds/gphoto.html

Make sure all the points mentioned there are followed first.

I followed the setting for the sony camera itself there...

A lot of them stuff doesn't look like what I'm using so I'm a bit confused exactly what applies here. I paid for the stellarmate OS and app to make things simpler and none of it looks like that- so I'm not sure what applies. It seems like the sony driver is already there and I'm able to select the camera.

The App is just a frontend to the desktop app, so if capture does not work there, there is a problem is the capture in the desktop app. Can you login via VNC and check if there are any errors reported there?
