Testing G1 encoder port
I'm being sent a G1 to fix that is being used with a G11 which I believe to have DSCH encoders fitted. Is there any easy way to test the encoder port without access to the mount? Cheers, David

Re: is a gm811 the same as an old gm8 or the G11
The current weight supported by the mount is 12 kilograms. It is not too much to cause it to lock up when turning. I will have to disassemble the mount, make sure there are no screws that are loose or

Re: Boot problems with Ascom 7.0.2 and Nina 3.1Hf2???
Thanks for the answers Paul. I've been having problems with the G8/11 for a while now and I'm feeling a bit frustrated. It's probably due to a lack of knowledge about the mount. I just can't seem to

Re: Boot problems with Ascom 7.0.2 and Nina 3.1Hf2???
I don't see anything in the screen shots that could cause this problem. Also, between version 1.1.25 and 1.1.28 of the driver there were only two changes, and these should have no effect on the

Re: Boot problems with Ascom 7.0.2 and Nina 3.1Hf2???
I doubt the problem is with the ASCOM platform -- it doesn't have anything to do with the connection to Gemini. The ASCOM driver does, and I believe you didn't change driver version, correct? Instead

Re: Boot problems with Ascom 7.0.2 and Nina 3.1Hf2???
The version of Ascom that I have installed is 7.02. I understand that the fix that Paul Kavansky says was made in 7.01. Is it like that?
