Re: Parking to Home position failing
Daniel I run 4+ Losmandy mounts remotely , virtually every night, unattended and powered on 24/7. I don¡¯t have any issues with parking, as I must park each mount at CWD every night, and startup from

Re: Parking to Home position failing
Hi Daniel I¡¯m not entirely sure I follow what you are trying to do, but if your goal is to park the mount at CWD, you don¡¯t need to do a 2 step command, you can just tell the mount to Park, and it

Yep that¡¯s understood.

Re: Parking to Home position failing
The Home position must be set if you want it to go somewhere other than CWD. It will default to CWD if not set. Regards, -Paul

Re: Parking to Home position failing
I have the gemini.net driver park settings to "Slew to CWD before parking". I'm using Voyager Starkeeper software. At the end of my imaging run, I send a Home command that slews to CWD, then I issue

Re: Parking to Home position failing...
If you have the ability to plate solve, and to remotely power cycle, you can reset the optimal CWD position (to within a few minutes in both RA/DEC) by the following process; - I get the mount roughly

Re: Parking to Home position failing
Daniel, Before speculating about bugs, RAM size, and null pointers, let's first see if we can find a simpler explanation. How are you issuing the park at CWD or at Home commands? Have you looked into

Re: Parking to Home position failing...
I have placed tape markers on the RA and DEC arms when I manually tightened the clutches with the scope in the best CWD position. If I need to realign CWD I can do this via manual slewing via remote

Re: Parking to Home position failing...
Do *not* plate solve at (or near) the pole - this can lead to all kinds of issues (a very small pointing error can be many hours of RA out) and this can throw the pointing model out entirely. Graeme

Re: Parking to Home position failing...
A Possible solution.. Maybe.. Plate Solve at the pole, then select Park Here.. Cycle the power, and then cold start and you be much closer to CWD / The startup position you seek.. Maybe Sharcap's

Re: Parking to Home position failing...
Hi Daniel, You are using a Park feature that I've read about in the Gemini manual, but never tried. That is the ability to set your own Home park position that is separate from the CWD position.

Re: Parking to Home position failing
Was this one ever resolved? I'm experiencing the same issue after running the mount in a remote installation. I'm becoming more confident in that the mount just isn't cutout for this work. Bugs

Just FYI Arnaud is in France so shipping and taxes may make it uneconomic for him. I suggested he source a 15 or 18V PC ¡°brick¡± power supply with 4 .5 or 5A output with a 2.5mm barrel connector

Re: Power supply for Gemini 1
I have run both Gemini 1 and 2 from a 13.8V, 7A bench supply for more years than I care to remember: I would recommend something along those lines (having a higher current rating would be fine as well
