Unfortunately, that was not my experience. The cleaned surfaces coated with a thin layer of assembly lube did not slip together easily. Even a couple of taps with a dead blow mallet did not make me

There is no need to heat the the worm wheel for assembly. As you experienced during disassembly they are machined to fine tolerances so if there is a bit of lubricant, the surfaces are clean and

Thank you for your advice. I also got some assistance from Michael Herman, he mentioned the same things all of you did. This is what I had to do. I cleaned the ring gear and heated it in the oven at

These part are machined to tight tolerances and even the slightest misalignment of the bearing ID with the tube will cause the bearing to jam on the tube. You will have the same issue with the worm

I would suggest moving this question to the Losmandy_Users group. They're also discussions there regarding lubrication, in particular with regard to ring/worm lubrication, that may be of interest.

Did you try to apply some grease to the post and the bearing? Just a tiny amount to reduce surface friction between the two.

Hello all, I know this is not a Gemini question, but I believe if anyone has seen this problem, they would be here. I have torn my G11 down to lubricate it and check the bearings. After giving a

I asked Tanya about it and she said mine are the early high torque motors before the cooling fins were added. The previous owner used a 13.8V/5A Pyramid power supply and said it worked well, but I

I never tested or timed it but AFAIK Gemini slew speed is set by the Gemini under the "speed" settings and the encoders which look at motor speed and counts for position just let the Gemini know to

What kind widget are you using to go from the Gemini 1's RS232 serial port to BT? Why BT? I was using a Sky Safari SkyFi III Wi-Fi device to connect to just about everything over Wi-Fi. Basically if

BT makes virtual com ports that maybe out of the range skysafari can see. ? Or possibly it’s a skysafari setting -- Brendan

My Dob connects and the tablet okay. It detects and connects to GeminiBT, however Sky Safari does not see it. Perhaps a sign saying don't be lazy. Thanks for your time Brandan!

It’s possible that the tablet needs to be configured with Serial PortProtocol (SPP) mode. Since tablets normally connect to phones, music devices etc it may not have this mode ? ?I made a BT to

Thank you both. Great points and info. Chip, it's great to hear you're seeing the same results at both ends of the voltage range. That's a completely valid point about cheap & easy to get power

Bryan, The conservative electronic parts standard is to use components rated for double the designed voltage. The 18vdc upper limit is already pushing well beyond conventional electrical wisdom for

That 25V is minimum rated component the capacitors along the input rail for “H” bridge drive. The others using this input rail are rated at 55V for the H bridge and I think 36V for the buck

The smoke check was good. It works fine in the shop, so it’s time to mount this thing on my pier. “First” light soon! Thanks for all the help, everyone. -Bryan
