Re: PDEC out of range errors


 

Hi Paul,
?
Yes it is definitely a Dec issue with the latest results. I changed the Dec cable as I was finding that Dec movements in one direction were hit and miss but the other Dec direction was fine. The other motor is working perfectly with direction commands.
?
I tested on both the HC and the virtual HC from the GeminiTelescope driver and had the same results so this is looking like the Gemini itself - I expect the Dec motor should be OK as it is working one way OK and intermittently the other.
?
Would that be your perspective also? If so is there a preferred method to clean/inspect the Gemini itself and maybe do some loopback test on the Dec interface? Maybe I should ring Losmandy if they are back on deck with all the fires.
?
Thanks,
Ken
