To whom it may concern, RPI4 8GB with the power board of an ASIAIR PRO, seems to work just fine :-)

I bought ASIAIR plus and arrived. Unlike PRO, each power port has a current and voltage sensor. I wrote a patch in indi-asi-power to read the value of this sensor.

The reset button on ASIAIR Plus is connected to nRPiBOOT. You can use it to operate the eMMC storage without disassembling it. Information on accessing the sensor was found in /root/ASIAIR/bin/read_power_cm4.sh.

I'm new to INDIlib development, so I'm not sure if this code is correct. I hope it helps you to support ASIRAIR Plus.

You can submit a PR here: github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/tree/master/indi-asi-power

Ken can probably review it and make any necessary changes to make sure it compatible with all versions.

I've only tried it with atroberry yet, but at least with the default kernel of astroberry 2.0.4, ASIAIR <strong>Plus</strong> USB doesn't work.
The USB host controller for ASIAIR Plus is the Renesas uPD720201. This is not supported by astroberry.
To resolve this issue, you need to install the required firmware and rebuild the kernel with the changed settings.

 I have confirmed that Stellamate v1.6.2 has similar problems. If you encounter similar issues, you may be able to fix the issue the firmware on /lib/firmware/renesas_usb_fw.mem and rebuilding by applying the following settings to the kernel.

CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI = m
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI_RENESAS = m

So far, this means that KStars can run from the ASIAIR Plus, but the power ports cannot be controlled, right? Does this mean that those ports still can deliver power but cannot be turned on and off?

Regards,

Alfredo

If you install the driver indi-asi-power you can control the power ports with the same functionality as the ASIAir app.

18 12 13 26 are the GPIO ports on the Raspberry Pi thatis at the core of the ASIAir. The config command enables those ports for output and switches them on.
I thought you would be able to use StellarMate on the QHY Starmaster without having to modify.

Can you install the indi-rpi-gpio driver? That wil let you control the GPIO pins but you will need to know which pins are used by Starmaster. That will let you control the power output.
