Re: Gemini BOOTLOADER update available
That looks like the right location on the Keil website, Chris. You'll get a download link after you register. You can decline to receive marketing/update emails, if you don't want them.

My ULINK2 (off eBay) arrived today.? I did report earlier that the only difference I could see between the eBay one and the Amazon one was the lack of the "RealView Tools by ARM" logo.? I can report

Well if it takes that long I'll cancel the Amazon order and just roll down to Losmandy's shop and reprogram my G2 minis on their bench.? Maybe I should just cancel now, I need to go pickup a Loamandy

Good update, Chip!
The PCB looks identical, but the wing screws look like they could cause PCB damage if screwed in too far. Thanks for the warning!

I went out to Amazon this morning to cancel my order and, of course, now it finally shipped after 16 days.

Re: Upgrading Gemini L6 to L6.02 or L6.12
Just a thought for Losmandy with these new cases-put a "bottom" on the "through nut" instead of an open "through nut" for the wing bolts.? That would certainly prevent disaster.

The clearance is fine with the new one-piece machined ears on a new MA or newer tripods.? The issue might be more likely to be a problem on older tripods and adapters with the thin welded on sheet

Oh nice new car for G2.
This problem with wing screws holding the unit case is a problem on G1s ¡.but yes. Can see the issue here with this case.
On G1s, I used washers to space the wing screws

Re: Upgrading Gemini L6 to L6.02 or L6.12
Hi Mike,
Like Chip, I think it's worth replacing the battery, just to be sure. Different versions of Gemini over the years had different 3v battery holders and had different current draw that
