Adventures of Pi

[Ags]

Reddish face here. My understanding of the AZ GTi wifi capabilities was wrong, leading to heartache last night.

I had thought that AZ GTi defaulted to Station mode every time it starts, but actually it remembers its connection to my home wifi, and both Station and Client mode are running at the same time. So the process that appears to work is:

1. Connect ASI178MM to Pi. Connect PI to ethernet.

2. Connect AZ-GTi and Pi to power tank and power on.

3. Use Mesh wifi app to get the AZ-GTi IP (the AZ-GTi is the device called "ESP-######")

4. Connect to Pi from laptop and enter AZ-GTi IP into Ekos.

Real shame I didn't figure this out last night. Will update my previous posts to indicate my information on AZ-GTi wifi was wrong.
