Allow speeding up
开云体育I’ve just applied 6.05 plus 1.63 to my G2 and HC. ? I have “allow speeding up” set, so I expected the HC buttons to work like the G1, going from Guide speed to Centre speed to Slew Speed if I hold (e.g.) the right RA button down and press the left button twice. ? But it doesn’t seem to work like that?? If I have speed set to Guide it will only move up to Centring speed when I press the opposite button. HC is set to “All Speeds” mode ? Also, the buttons on the rear of the HC don’t seem to do anything sometimes, other times they do? ? Can anyone cast some light for me? ? Cheers, David ? |

Re: periodic error training (PemPro config question)
Hi Steve,
?
Brian isn't visiting here very often anymore, so let me attempt to give you an answer.
?
> One, after uploading to the mount and verifying the curves and riding off into the sunset, do we go back into Gemini PEC configuration and set the worm period back to 1x?
?
No, don't change the worm setting. You don't need to do 2x worm cycle recording/programming. You can do 1x worm cycle, as well. 2x takes longer and will only help in the specific case that you have a certain error that can't be fixed by 1x worm cycle PEC. But either way should work.
?
>? Two, on the PemPro site ? (updated 2023) there's no mention of this. Is there a conflict here, is your doc still relevant with this idea, etc.?
?
PemPro has been updated since 2023. Early 2024, a version with some changes and bug fixes was released specifically to address the Gemini PEC programming with L6.02 and above. Just download the latest version of PEMPro available.
?
> And unrelated to those: On the site's document it asks to "go into the "Advanced Setup" page and uncheck "Gemini expects J2000 co-ordinates" because they both need to be on the JNow page--is that also required from your perspective?
?
It's not required, but it is recommended. You don't need J2000 conversion unless you have certain software that only supports that epoch. To program PEC you don't need J2000 precession conversion.

Re: Beta-test of new HC firmware v1.62
Hi Ken,
?
Totally up to you. The beta seems pretty stable, and has bug fixes and enhancements, so should be worth an upgrade. v1.63c of the HC and L6.05 are now available for beta testing.

The question is are you using the adjustable power output of the PAPPA or a regular 12v output?? ?

Re: periodic error training (PemPro config question)
Brian,
(Just took delivery of a GM11T; works great and now refining) On page 2 and 3 of your guide /g/Gemini-II/files/Documentation_and_Manuals/Losmandy%20PEC%20Primer.pdf you state to "set to 2x PEC cycle" and in the viewer and waveform analysis and correction we need to remember the periods are 2x . . . got that, but . . .
Two questions: ?
And unrelated to those: On the site's document it asks to "go into the "Advanced Setup" page and uncheck "Gemini expects J2000 co-ordinates" because they both need to be on the JNow page--is that also required from your perspective?
Thanks for you time; love your valuable advice and presentations. Regards Steve |

I use one of the GL.iNet routers with the USB C connection for DC power from my PegausAstro PowerPocket Advanced. If you can solder, it's pretty easy to take a barrel pigtail and USB C power pigtail (; note the correct polarity) and solder them together using a lineman's splice. Cover up each splice with heat shrink and, voila, you have an adapter cable; otherwise, get butt connectors and splice them that way. I just prefer soldered connections.

I can second using GL.iNET routers, I have been using them on the mount for many years and have kept upgrading as they released newer faster versions.? The current model which I am using that makes the most sense to me is the compact Slate-AX AKA GL-AXT1800.? You can go faster on 5GHz. with a Beryl-AX but there is not a lot of advantage to it if you need to use the 2.5GHz. band for reliability.? As a person using ASIAIR which had about the worse Wi-Fi implementation imaginable I figured out how to add a wired travel router was key.? Initially everyone including ZWO said it did not work, but in fact it worked perfectly and fully resolved the Wi-Fi problems of the ASIAIR.? When the original Slate routers came out they had a built-in 3 port switch which eliminated the necessity of adding a small switch as I had been doing previously so now the Slate travel router solution also allowed access to the Gemin 2 over Ethernet without the extra piece of admittedly small piece of networking hardware which is how I have been using Gemini 2 for years.? The Slate travel routers have always had retained the 3 port switch feature as does the Slate-AX.? The Beryl-AX only has one LAN port but it can be reconfigured as a second LAN port if needed as would be the case for an ASIAIR user.?? ? The other great feature not often talked about for regular Gemin 2 users is that these routers can be configured to act as bridge router from the Gemin 2 on the mount to the home LAN over Wi-Fi.? So you can have access in the basement or wherever from the house Wi-Fi LAN out to the Gemini 2 using the Slate-AX as a bridge router.? ? ? --
