Some routers you can log in to and see if the Gemini is being seen on your router (or network). ? Aka to find if the Gemini is on a different Ethernet address, for some reason.?
By far easiest is to use ? ?Plug in a USB cable to your computer and your Gemini USB ¡°B port¡±. ?In windows go to system ¡.. and under Ports ¡°Com & LPT¡± look for a USB virtual com port and its number and baud rate. ? If working it¡¯ll show a virtual com port (for your connection) and assign a port number.?
You can enter these port details in your (see figure 5) to connect to the Gemini. ?If it¡¯s all ok and you see the same com port in the ASCOM ¡°port¡± drop down box ¡..set it and connect ¡..you should be able to control the Gemini now over USB.?
?
If the USB port is not being recognised you may need the from Gemini FAQs. ?
If you cannot connect to Gemini by Ethernet or USB and your HC is not getting past the ¡°splash screen¡± then it¡¯s most likely needs a repair ( or Losmandy) . ?If all this is not working I¡¯d expect the ARM is not right. ?You can open the cover, earth yourself to the case by touching it and gently put a finger on the ARM processor (centre of it¡not the legs) to feel its temperature. ?If it¡¯s warm or hot¡.the ARM is dead causing all these issue. ?Definitely need a repairer or return to Losmandy.?
Try the above. ?Lastly another neat ¡°cheat trick¡± is to use Gemini FAQs Web tutorial page, . ?On this page ¡.if you have your Gemini connected via Ethernet, you can open this web tutorial page (linked above) and click on the hyperlink to or the other hyperlink: (or if it has a different address you found by logging into your router¡.write that to your web page address bar)¡.and click on it¡.and it will open the Gemini web browser of your unit ¡..if can be seen by your router or computer.
?
If not¡.then the system is not being seen it sounds like it needs to be looked at. ?
It¡¯s either your HC screen died¡.then you should be able to still connect to the Gemini via ethernet or USB. ?If you cannot ¡.then the problem is larger than just a bad HC.?
?
FWIW some things to try. ?Get back on how this goes happy to assist. ? ?I know it¡¯s trying but best to try the USB and Ethernet ¡.if you can connect via one of these. ? Then it¡¯s probably a dead HC screen.?
Do get back on this?
