Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Interesting results. Once the troubleshooter started recording, I went to a bright star via the HC and synched.? During this time, error messages were flashing rather quickly with time out, com

Re: RA lag both motors stopped
In the first instance I suspect that you may have had an unusually cold period causing over-tight worm to ring mesh which caused stalls. However a faulty encoder could certainly cause similar

Hi Frank Please make sure you are using the latest beta of Gemini Telescope.net https://gemini-2.com/ASCOM.html (this is for the trouble shooter feature below) Please do only the things I mentioned,

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
My tests are done inside. I hope this is what you mean. Using only the HC from a cold star at CWD, I slewed to a bright star and synced. Then I took the attached. After this, I connected on the PC and

Sorry I should have been more clear The gemini settings are shown in the web page/ hand controller I'm talking about the computer's own timezone settings, which your application uses (example of

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Can you confirm that you have done at least one sync after cold start before trying a flip using the handset? (Confirm this by looking on the Gemini web page that has the model parameters - if you do

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Thanks Brian but not sure what you mean by computer<->Gemini.? So I took some screen shots from the web interface and Ascom Profiler.? If these are inadequate let me know.

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Frank these are just the mount settings, which need to be coordinated with the software meridian flip settings. Can you post those computer<->Gemini settings for date/time/timezone need to be the same

Re: RA lag both motors stopped
Is your Gemini 2 one of the old ¡°long boys¡± or the current, square Gemini 2. The older ¡°long boys¡± occasionally suffer from a broken solder joint that can cause an RA failure message. It¡¯s a

Re: RA lag both motors stopped
Hi Erwan Were there motor stall messages when this happened? have you tried adjusting the worm mesh? things that most often cause/ lag/stall 1. insufficient power 2. worm mesh too tight 3. telescope

RA lag both motors stopped
Hi, Since a week I have a big problem on the g11 gemini2 of mu observatory. This is the third time I found the mount complexity stopped. Seems both motors stopped working during the night. After that

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
I"ve been following this, and I agree something fundamental just seems amiss. I really don't think there's anything about the Gemini or the firmware that's causing this, particularly since you have it

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Frank, Back to my original post, you need to resolve the issue of not being able to perform a meridian flip with the hand controller before worrying about the software. It must be either a time or

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
That is indeed strange! :Mf# command certainly works for others, and I have no idea why it doesn't for you. Maybe try to reflash the firmware, but this has an even smaller chance of working than

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
I'm not quite sure I grasp what the "Pier Side Method" is? It's clear from the ASCOM log that :Mf# is being sent to the mount - the mount does the rest if a flip is possible. From the handset it
