Re: Gemini Motor Mounting Damage?
The first thing to check is that your Gemini settings are still correct. For example, HC mode should be Photo or All-Speeds, otherwise no guiding will happen. Then, check that you have the correct

Re: Gemini Motor Mounting Damage?
James, Limits!? Also look for hidden damage.? The servo motor fasteners often damage the gearbox threads and the backing plates of the original G11/GM8 mounts were heat riveted and tended to break

You just have not been around long enough. The Losmandy #492 Digital Drive is not a spin off or copy. They were the original Losmandy #492 non-GOTO Digital Drive controller systems and used a gear

Re: Gemini Motor Mounting Damage?
Hi James, did you try to run PHD2 guide calibration? That should tell you if the mount is responding to guide commands, and how well. Regards, -Paul

Hi, A bit of background first:? ?I have a very old, but faithful, Losmandy G11.? I upgraded to Gemini 2 about a year ago.? Last night I had been successfully autoguiding with PHD2 for a few hours.

Re: Looking for cable source - Try Cat8 cables
The twisting of Ethernet patch cables differs from what Gemini needs. There could be spurious encoder ticks induced by PWM pulses if motor wires and encoder wires are paired. Not sure about cat8

Re: DIGITAL DRIVE SYSTEM
Wow, I have not seen that controller before, I but it looks like a spin-off of the ci700 controller, and the G11 looks pretty similar to the ci700.? ?:)

Re: Looking for cable source - Try Cat8 cables
I recently fixed my 2nd Gemini1. The flat motor cables were intermittent. I made some cat5e cables 2.5' long and it seemed to work but I let it run on my bench for an hour and noticed the PWM signal

David, the same problem with Gemini not being connected. The driver loads all the catalogs only once, the first time you go into the manage catalogs page. If you're not connected to Gemini, it will

Re: GeminiTelescope can't change location fields
This has always been the case (don't ask me why!) -- but to change site information, you must first enable 'Set Gemini Site on Connect' option. You can turn it off when you're done changing: Regards,

Re: Problem with my Gemini 1
Hi John, if you've tried resetting Gemini to all defaults, taking out and leaving out and then replacing the 3v battery, the next step would be to contact one of the repairers that is closest to you:
