Re: Gemini 2 controller PCB on eBay
I have bought this card and programmed the ARM processor and the pics with available files. To my understandingit works, the hand controller shows the right software versions when connected.

Re: New G11 - east vs west confused
Is it possible that you have the RA cable going to the Dec motor and vice-versa? The cables are identical, so it¡¯s not uncommon to mis-connect them. Worth checking. Clear skies K Walsh

Brendan, Here are pics of the PCB: Yep, I'm guessing the ARM is blank.? Anyone know how to flash it and with what? Does Losmandy flash them or buy them already flashed?

Re: DEC: Heavy Duty TR alarm - G11
Hi Bren, As you said, let's just wait for Trevor to test with the fixed HC. I have no idea how the HC can show a different PIC firmware version than what's reported to the PC. Both are serial commands
