Hi Ken, Please contact our very knowledgeable Gemini expert David Partridge, also of the UK. He can make you a serial port cable, and if your Gemini has a problem, he is an expert repairer. He is at:

Here's one that I used recently: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006AA04K0 You'll also need a special cable from this adapter 9 pin DB9 connector to the small telephone-plug type connector on the

Thank you for the info, I am not technically minded what does a usb/ serial adapter look like. Regards Ken Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ Sent: Tuesday,

Hi Ken, You'll just need a USB to serial adapter with the appropriate cable for Gemini-1. USB/Serial adapters are fairly inexpensive, just get one that has the driver for the version of Windows that

Could somebody please help me. I have the old Gemini 1 and i wish to connect it to my laptop, what connector do i need to go into RS 232 socket and then a USB to attach to my laptop. Can you purchase

Hi David, Thanks for that. Possible warranty repair in the works per Losmandy. I am hoping to get the unit on the last plane out tonight! Clear Skies, Paul

Not relevant – that’s for the earlier 492 digital drive system which used stepper motors not servo motors. I don’t believe Losmandy repair the motors when the encoders a burnt out but I could be

Hi David et all, I may have misspoke about the stall message..the HC said also "heavy lag", so it is as noted the Gemini does not know where it is. Michael shared with me his troubleshooting

Hi Micheal, Thank You for the tip! Actually I did use washers in the more traditional sense when I put in my new gearboxes today. It turns out that one of the bolts was not going in all the way

Hi Daniel There is no limit to Syncs. Each new sync overwrites the first two modeling terms, so you could do it indefinitely. -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

This one still seems to reoccur and I can't see why. Is there a limit to the number of sync positions held in the formation of the pointing model? Is there a saved value for the home positon/park

Can confirm, washers work on the MI-250 - we have this on our remote hosted mount. Graeme
