Re: Update Process Question
Chris, My dongle only permits the same setup.? Considering the ping, I suggest trying to connect with Paul's Gemini Telescope ASCOM service, which uses that Ethernet connection.? My device connects

Re: Update Process Question
To Paul: Should I remove the *NewGem.bin* file from the SD card and replace with the *HGM_Gem2.bin* file?? I can easily do that using my card reader and place the "HGM" file on the card at the same

Wayback... My connection at the PC from the G2 is at the ethernet port of the PC.? There is no dongle.? Internet is obtained via WiFi from a USB device but I never have that device plugged in unless

Re: Update Process Question
If it works fine to access Gemini with the standard cable then the network configuration is fine. One thing you could try is to extract the *NewGem.bin* file from the L6.05 zip archive, rename it to
Re: Update Process Question
The founders gave us "ping" on the Gemini-2 server, try type typing > ping 192.168.0.111 (the Gemini-2 definition) in the command window when patched together. If an issue, check on the attempt that

Re: Update Process Question
No, you probably don¡¯t need a X-over cable. Almost all ethernet ports these days will auto-detect that. You need to ensure: 1. That both the computer and Gemini are on the same subnet

Re: Update Process Question
After stepping away for a time to clear my head, I went back to the Gemini 2 site to read about how to connect Gemini directly to a computer (gotta start with the basics since I haven't looked at this

Re: Update Process Question

Re: Update Process Question
I've just spent the last 2 - 3 hours trying to do this update.? Partial progress.? I did use the GFU Utility to reformat the SD card and load 6.02.? Both the Flashing and Reboot gave me the timeout

Re: HC Doesn't Retain Brightness Settings
I updated to HC 1.63cbeta and G2 L6.05beta and the brightness settings now work as expected. I assigned three different levels of brightness to the Daytime, Dawn and Nighttime, selected the Adaptive

Re: Update Process Question
Also, if you use a fixed IP address then you need to use the Hand Controller and reset the Gemini-2 IP address manually and uncheck DHCP on the new default factory image.? It's the address you used

Re: Update Process Question
Trust me, Chris :) I've gone through this a number of times: just reformat the SD card. You can do this from the web page or from GFU directly, and then upload the full firmware file using GFU (do the

Re: Update Process Question
First off, thanks for all this great info.? I'm going to screen snip this and keep it for future reference.? I would like nothing better than to use Paul's GFU but I keep getting the "timeout" error

Re: Wanted - Gemini 2 Level 6 firmware upgrade kit
Hi Susan, Splitting the firmware and PIC chip code versions is not recommended.? It has not been tested this way, the L6.0x firmware is designed to work with the v3.0 PIC code.? That said they have

Re: Update Process Question
Paul, Chris, Please don't worry about this "M:..." file, it doesn't hurt. It is created by the trusty, reliable boot loader once it finds a "HGM_Gem2.bin" file that it flashes and renames (not to

Re: Update Process Question
OK.? It looks like I will have to reformat, because, yeah, no way to get rid of that M: file. I assume I need to copy all the files on the current SD card except that "M;" file to a safe place before
