I'm fighting with NINA and Meridian flips again. I'm posting in hopes that someone might be able to help me out.
At one point I copied in a fellow Gemini II members settings and POOF! Everything was working great! I could finally pick an object and my GM811G HD would follow NINA controlling it and run all night collecting images.
Windows did one of its infamous updates and broke my drivers and other Non-Windoze programs (Which is about every Astro App there is.), by the time I got my laptop fixed, I could no longer do meridian flips. Long story short.
So I've been trying and trying to fix this again... for months now. I'm really close, really close.
I've gone through over and over. I have my limits set to MY equipment's settings, which happen to be very close to Edward's. (We both happen to be running 5" refractor telescopes as well.)
I've spent days now doing test Meridian Flip runs with NINA. Picking an object near the Meridian, loading it into a test target set in NINA's sequencer I've dumbed down to run in Daylight, so it isn't trying to plate solve or do other automatic operations involving my cameras. (They're capped)
It goes into a normal Automated Meridian flip, walks through the steps, even ends out like normal. Then continues the sequence.
Trouble is: The Mount never does the flip. It just sits there until it limits out. Which was the old problem, until... I started using the limit setting I found here. Which I cannot find again. About all I can recall was the posters name was David, I think. But he had posted the limit settings he found that worked.
So I've been trying to duplicate the past successes. Without any success.
I've run the ASCOM diagnostics. I've downloaded the latest driver for Gemini (1.1.23)
One other "clue" When the Automatic Merian Flip fails, if I stop NINA's sequencer, Use the Gemini virtual controller to Park the mount at CWD, then restart the sequence in NINA, it comes up from the Eastward side and will continue the sequence until it is completed.
