Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Correct. In G2, bit 2 Modelling in use is used to indicate whether an alignment was done. Bit 1 is always set to 1.

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
FYI this is confirmed as expected behavior. Gemini 2 has no "Initial Alignment" anymore, <99 always returns 1 + x. The coordinates are taken from startup. -- Brian

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
I haven¡¯t looked though each of the previous posts so I am likely missing necessary information. I am running 5.21 and I think ASCOM Gemini Driver 1.1.17.0 with NINA 2.1 HF1 RC0x and haven't had

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
I tried to do exactly what you describe here, Frank. I had Level 6 beta already flashed, so I tried a cold start, slew to past the meridian, and then do :Mf#... and it flipped with no problems, even

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Brian thanks - I'm starting to loose track here. Do you want me to repeat the test ?? Please repeat where you want the limits set. I will then image the scope at the point of trying the meridian

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
The NCP is *not* an alignment point in the sense that Gemini understands (and neither should the initial alignment be anywhere near the poles if it can be helped or it's asking for trouble!). On first

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Regarding the tests to solve the issue, they are done indoors, otherwise it might be months. From a cold start CWD: - the mount is pointing at the NCP - if I do a "go to bright star", it goes there

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
Ok - so that's does appear to be a Gemini 2 bug (the reported value from <99: is incorrect when the mount has not had an Initial Alignment) :) That's not the issue behind no flipping though: @Frank

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
I think this is a Gemini bug. I just cold started (power cycle and choice at restart) our G2 which running a slightly later Gemini version (with runaway slew, and RA=0 sync bug fixes) and it also

Re: Meridian Flip - Stopped Working
The log seems to show that Gemini thinks it's aligned. Status 1 was returned by <99: command. But certainly at least one sync/align is needed before doing any sort of testing from a Cold start.
