Hi, Well looks like I was misunderstood again :-) I do not want that the screen rotates. I already have an iPod Touch and an iPad and those are enough rotating screens :-) I am talking about the

Hi Rainer The buttons reversal are done. On the original Gemini hand controller you had a function to be able to reverse the RA buttons, and a separate function to Reverse the Dec buttons. On the

Hi, OK, I do not have a Gemini II but my impression is that we are making this button issue too complicated. Let us think KISS. Let us sir behind the mount and observe the telescope on the RA and DEC

I just deleted the iphone spam message and put the sender into a moderated status. I will ban them from this group if they try it again. I will not accept spam of any kind, period, no exceptions.

PS message 22581 would have been a better suggestion: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Gemini_Users/message/22581 Tom Hilton

PS The schematic for the Joystick is correct. When the push button is pushed, it acts as if you pushed the opposite button while keeping the current direction button engaged, on a 4 button controller.

Hi Bill and Frank You could also build a joystick something like what Rainer did. See message 22593 in the Gemini user group. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Gemini_Users/message/22593 Tom HIlton

Hi Bill and Frank Also remember that the old 4 button controller(no LED readouts) that was originally supplied with the early Gemini units also works with the Gemini 2. It is still available from

How is this handled in professional telescopes? I wouldn't know. :O) Maybe they use joysticks which have 2 or more positions in any direction. Push it once to the right for Guide speed, farther to the

Hi Bill and Frank. On the graphics controller, in the lower left corner is a speed button. It takes you to Guide, Center, Move to slew. all of these speed are programmable by the user. The tactile

Hi Bill, I have that same problem using the hand control...Usually "Guide" is too slow and accidently hitting the opposite button drives the object right off if I am not counting the times I press the

René provided the New hand controller code to the beta group for testing. He put an < in the middle of the Right RA button if the RA on the Graphics screens are reversed and a > in the Left RA button

Yes, one of the few "annoyances", as it were, is having to press the alternate button to speed up movement. Otherwise, I mainly use one hand. I can't envision a software solution other than possibly

I do not want to hold René up in his coding of the hand controller any further. Since there was no real suggestions, just questions as to why even do this, I will remove the database and let René do

Hi Bill, Just think about how you control your mount via the handcontroller right now. You surely use both hands in order to press the buttons. ? Have you thought about your left hand and the

I thought so! re("I have not touched the Handcontroller for the last 4 years Big <G> ha ha ha"). Nah, I knew what you meant and just couldn;t resist busting your chops. When I first got my Gemini, I

Hi Bill, Just too lazy :-) Just kidding. Have you done it for a longer time ? If yes, then tell me how your left hand feels after a while ?? The cable does inhibit the free movement of your fingers

So, why not just rotate the hand-controller as you hold it? For example, with the cable extending off to your left. You can then reverse the directions of either buttons to suit. Bill

Hi Tom, No, the DEC movement does not reverse do to a Meridian. Just right now I was thinking that the arrangement of the movements on the buttons is not quite logical, as you just mentioned that some
