I'm a newbie, but I have had a hard time with the wifi app doing what i think it should. First I had to upgrade the firmware as it would not track in any mode out of the box. Now v 3.11. I also pressed the two buttons for 5 seconds to reset to factory settings. The SAM console from the app store crashed on opening. Android 11. SW support sent me an app for the mini. Ver 1.6 In the APP position, my tracker motor stops in a second. Thia was confirmed with a stethoscope. When I fire a shot from the app via the tracker to my camera, it starts running but then stops tracking when the shot sequence is finished. Support help told me this is normal ( I cannot understand why?) and gave me a convoluted workflow to trick the tracker to fire camera shots indefinitely in Astro Star dial position. It's so wonky I have given up using the SAM console to fire my camera. Instead I use an external intervalometer. This pretty much makes the WiFi worthless. Maybe it's because the SAM mini app is not fully compatible with the Star Adventurer 2i? Maybe there is a reason the tracker should not stay tracking in APP mode? Remember, a newbie here. Does anyone have success using the SAM console app to track and fire the camera in the APP dial position? Possibly the iOS version works ? Or maybe the Android version worked before Android 11? Thanks if you can explain this or confirm you have similar or different experience.
