This thread is intended as a forum to troubleshoot the popular setup proposed several months ago by Cuiv (https://youtu.be/0JdtL950RjQ). For many of us there have been various stability issues that have been addressed in a prior thread which has wandered from the original setup using a Skywatcher Evoguide 50 ED, Stellarmate OS and mobile app, and Az-GTI mount in alt/az mode. Updates by the Stellarmate developer to the OS and app have helped some, but many of us are still having various issues with app freezing, plate solving, etc.
For purposes of nailing down issues specific to this setup, while recognizing that minor hardware variations are likely compatible, please confine comments within the following setup guidelines:
Optical: Evoguide50 or equivalent, slightly larger small aperture refractors should be similar.
CMOS: ASi178MC or equivalent minimal FOV, in other words sufficient chip size for wide field views.
Mount: AZ-GTi or GTe, in alt/az mode only.
Mount connection: wireless in Stellarmate hotspot mode or direct connection with compatible cable. (I know some are using mount and device connection to existing home networks but since there have been issues with connectivity, I suggest we focus on a simplified setup, as per Cuiv's original description).
Software: Stellarmate device or RPi4 install of 32 bit Stellarmate OS or 64 bit beta, control with only IOs or android Stellarmate app on phone or tablet.
Community: Report results with your efforts and with descriptions of your setup to include: hardware specifics, how it is connected, what version of app and OS, any modifications of default settings in the app, any communications that you may have had with Stellarmate support.
