Re: Catching up: Losmandy/ Gemini I and PEC
Hi John, As I said, the non-integer gear reduction has no direct effect on PEC. What does have an effect is that the error has a period that is an integer multiple of the worm cycle. Your MI-250

Re: RS-232 interface IC and RS-232 port replacement part numbers?
I just crossed 26 hours of imaging since I fixed my Gemini serial port. To recap the repair, here are the parts I used: * MAX3226EEAE+ ( https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/700-MAX3226EEAE ) (I

I've posted a couple of photos of my MI-250 worm assembly, in case anyone is interested.

Re: Catching up: Losmandy/ Gemini I and PEC
Thank you for your reply, Paul.? Also, I appreciate the link to Mark Crossley's webpage. For the "non-integer gear reduction" I referred to, I meant the non-integer reductions between the individual

Re: Catching up: Losmandy/ Gemini I and PEC
At least to my thinking about PEC, integral with the worm cycle is what's significant, not the actual gear ratio reduction. Any periodic error that repeats on a period that isn't evenly divisible into

Re: Catching up: Losmandy/ Gemini I and PEC
The reason you have a PEC sensor and robust software that looks across multiple periods is so you don't have to have an exact integer (as opposed to rational) number in a gearbox reduction. Not to be

Re: Catching up: Losmandy/ Gemini I and PEC
Hi John, That is incorrect. There's not even a remote possibility that gearboxes could produce a non-integer reduction. Here are some specs for gears and their ratios:

Catching up: Losmandy/ Gemini I and PEC
I'm catching up with twenty years of experience regarding PEC and Gemini I.? I've read Losmandy/ Gemini I doesn't play well with PEC because of the non-integer gear reduction in the stock Losmandy

Re: RS-232 interface IC and RS-232 port replacement part numbers?
Oh, that's a great idea! Next time though. I replaced the CR2354, so I'll have a little time before it dies to order the upgrade battery holder. I just did a few hours of daylight testing with my

Re: RS-232 interface IC and RS-232 port replacement part numbers?
Well done Bryan. ?Good work. One tiny observation. ? You might want to grab a CR2450 battery and holder and replace the G1 CR2354 ! Why¡­. The CR2450 are easier to get nowdays. The battery holders

Re: RS-232 interface IC and RS-232 port replacement part numbers?
I replaced the serial IC, C19, C21, C44, and the RJ22 port. The bench smoke check was good and my laptop seems to talk to it ok. I¡¯ll test it connected to the mount and the mini PC soon. So far, so

Part number for L1 in Gemini-1 47uH
The schematic specifies 47uH, 0.7A. It's about 6mm square with a round bobbin. Could it be Bourns SDR0604-470KL? Thanks David

Well picked up. ?I think I looked at one data sheet got the specs and another place showed slightly different specs particularly capacitance The ¡°L¡± is low capacitance, the ¡°N¡± nickel plate

Re: RS-232 interface IC and RS-232 port replacement part numbers?
Thanks Brendan, I'm glad you're helping chew on this with me. Looking deeper into the spec sheet, it seems like they might be the same actual part with the only difference being what sized reel they

You're right about the dirt & grass inside. I think it'll clean up fine. I'll take an extra look at F1 & the RVs. Thanks for the clarification on pin 8. I misread the schematic on the Gemini FAQ and
