John S. created a new topic ' StellarMateOS on ASIAir Pro hardware' in the forum. 3 years ago

Hello,

I have both the StellarMateOS and an ASIAir Pro appliance.  I love the form factor of the ASIAir Pro but miss the lack of vendor support for focusers and accessories.  I am pretty sure the StellarMateOS will work on the ASIAir Pro hardware but I think the 4 12v power ports would either be unusable or non-configurable under StellarMateOS.  Since one of my setups has a Moonlite focuser and Xagyl filter wheels, I was wondering if there was some way to enable the use of those integrated power ports in the ASIAir Pro with StellarMate OS installed.  I can certainly live without the capability and I could control the power directly if needed, but it would be convenient if it could be done via StellarMate.

My questions are::

1 - Is it confirmed that StellarMateOS will run on the ASIAir Pro?  I understand it would not be 'supported' per se but I wanted to make sure it would in fact work.

2 - Is there any way to configure StellarMateOS to recognize and control the integrated 12v power ports on the ASIAir Pro?  I suspect that the ASIAir probably has some config.txt foo that enables the ports via the GPIO but am unsure if this is the case. 

Any input on this would be appreciated.
