Star Adventurer Console Hack 2.5.0 + Redeem Codes

Gets the job done, but has a lot of room for improvement. Astrophotography dithering is not selectable when connected to WiFi. Not sure it even works if you set it before connecting to the mount.

The iOS version of this App worked really well using my iPhone to control the Star Adventurer 2i until the latest iOS version of the app was released a couple of weeks ago - however unfortunately since then the current iOS app cannot connect to the Star Adventurer 2i even though the iPhones WiFi is connected to the Star Adventurer 2i wifi. I do not see a way to go back to the older version of the app and I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the App but no change. It might be possible that the updated firmware for the 2i would allow the iOS app to work under the latest version but the website with the firmware update only uses windows computers and I only have access to Mac computers. I am hoping support reads these reviews and addresses the issue for iOS users. I noticed a couple of other reviews mentioned the same issue after the latest app upgrade. I have attempted to contact support directly but no response yet.

Just got my 2i and connecting to the unit was a breeze. I switched to App mode to enable the WiFi and connected my phone to it. In the app I had to Tap on the bottom “not connected” for it to search for and find the tracker. After that it automatically connected. Controls are straight-forward in the app. Nice that it shows the input voltage as well. Might be a little better to add a “connect” button or an initialization setup on first run instead of having to infer you need to click “Not Connected” to initiate the scan for devices. There is also a random “Done” banner that shows up if you are already connected and click on the connection. It shows up where the “turn off wifi” selection is located on the screen.

I bought the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i a little over a year ago and had never used the app for anything but the polar clock. But I tried to use the wifi app control yesterday and found that it never detects my Star Adventurer, even though the iPhone can see and connect to its wifi network.

Update: wifi control does work but you have to allow access to Local Network under Settings > SA Console. App needs an update to be more in line with modern iOS apps.

This app worked with my iPhone when I used it three weeks ago. Today it won’t connect to my phone. So I tried connecting to my iPad and it seemed to work. But when I tried to run Astrophotography, I got a “Communication error” - very frustrating after hours setting up on a really cold night.

A no track option would be really helpful to take clear foreground shots. It does disconnect often for unknown reasons, but it’s fairly easy to reconnect. Overall, the app works well

I just got a Star adventurer 2i and everything except the app function works. I guess the name change from the latest version update has messed up the connection ability with the mount.

Oddly enough, I downloaded the SAM Console app for my windows laptop and was able to connect to the mount successfully. So the iOS app is the one at fault..

Polar clock utility won’t work, it can’t get GPS information from my iPhone to work, I have to use a third party app PS Align Pro to align my tracker. It did work initially for a short time, I’ve tried the other functions for time lapse and don’t know if they still work.

Got the app to connect to star adventurer 2i to control camera. Can only connect to sa 2i’s ad how network but not actually remote control the camera shutter.

Last rev does not ask for access to location services or local network and as such can’t find the phone location or access the adventurer using Wi-Fi. Need urgent fix !
