BAPI BLE Scanner vs Askar Astro Controller

The BAPI BLE Scanner app provides a simple way to check if BAPI’s wireless sensors will work in your environment. The app automatically scans your environment for BLE devices and displays them with their RSSI value, giving you and indication of the signal strength in your environment. Using the BAPI BLE Scanner app and one of BAPI’s wireless sensors, you can test your environment to see if to see how reliably a wireless sensor system will perform. BAPI’s wireless system consists of sensors and gateways. Sensors will send readings to the gateway, the gateway can then send readings to our cloud monitoring system or to an HVAC system. You can use the BAPI BLE Scanner to perform a site verification in your environment. Contact BAPI to order one of our wireless sensors. Once you receive your sensor, power it on and place it at a location that you want to measure. Open the BAPI BLE Scanner app on your smart device and position yourself where you would like to place a gateway. You can adjust the settings to only see BAPI wireless devices. You can then look at the RSSI value to determine if the sensor will be able to communicate reliably with the gateway and adjust the gateway or sensor position as needed. You can then repeat this process for each point you want to measure. The BAPI BLE Scanner makes it easy to determine how many sensors and gateways you will need for your environment and where to place them. You can then be confident that your wireless system will be able to communicate reliably. Contact us to start the site verification process

As the core companion for the Askar WAF, the Askar APP offers a high-precision focusing solution for both visual astronomy and deep-sky imaging. Paired with the Askar APP, the WAF offers accurate, responsive focusing with fine step control and instant stop. Travel and step size are independently adjustable – focus in one tap. The APP offers flexible device management – rename and group your devices with ease. Step parameters and travel reverse are also adjustable, so you can tailor the focusing experience to your own workflow. The APP is currently fully optimized for the WAF. Our development team will continue to release regular updates, gradually introducing support for filter wheels, rotators, and other smart astronomy devices. By continuously expanding device compatibility, the APP aims to deliver integrated, intelligent control over a full range of astronomy accessories, providing users with a more comprehensive and efficient solution for smart astrophotography.
