Thanks Chuck. it's hard to say, sometimes two situations sound similar but the devil is in the details
You never used L6, correct?
Jim w and Brian. My 2yr old g11g Dec motor quit moving and failed and had to be replaced. I'm wondering if your problem was just a bad motor.

Yes - It stopped moving.? I lost RA tracking and PHD2 went crazy.? There were no Beeps warning of the stall.? The RA motor and section of the Mini Gemini-2 were too hot to touch...? I stopped imaging, waited for the motor to cool down, removed the motor and the 1 to 1 gear cover.? I could freely spin the aluminum gears.? I attributed it to a bug / lockup in the updated servo firmware.? Because of this and random?DEC slews I decided to back out of the L6 Beta effort.? I am surprised?I didn't burn out the MOFETs to the motor.?
I am now running the factory default FW and SW.? Since?then I have never had this issue.
