Hi from Mexico

Rainer
 

Thank You for approving my membership.

1st question:

Will the firmware in future for Gemini I also be updated in the same way as for the Gemini II or is from now on the Gemini I a buried dead system ? I have the possibility to burn my own EPROMs.

I have 4 Gemini I units and honestly for the moment they are all working with no problems and an investment for updating to Gemini II is a No No at the moment.

That would be maybe US $ 4,000.00 or even more ...

Thanks and regards Rainer

Hi Rainer,

No, G1 is not dead. Once everything with G2 is working fine my next project for the G1 will be to adapt the new HC to it. This will need an adapter for the DB15 (like the one Tom Hilton had for the additional USB or serial port) and a new eprom, because the new HC uses some new serial commands.

But, you should consider to try a G2, nevertheless. There's so much new and so much to come, especially for observatories like yours and you can tell me your thoughts and wishes.

Hi ¸é±ð²Ô¨¦,

Thanks for the prompt answer. Well yes I would like to have one new Gemini II, but an investment of US $ 1,095.00 + shipping costs is just too much just for testing. Sorry ...

I have a spare Gemini I and when you are ready I would gladly test the new firmware in my Observatory :-)

regards Rainer
