Boot problems with Ascom 7.0.2 and Nina 3.1Hf2???

 

Hello. This is the first time I write on the forum. I have a G8 11 mount and gemini 2 level 6 (1.1.28). So far I have been running Ascom 6.6 and Nina 2.2 without problems. The problem arose with the update to Ascom 7.0.2 and Nina 3.1.
When connecting the mount I get a no connection message. After it is connected. But it hasn't really connected, because it doesn't move the mount when you tell it to go to a certain object. I have changed the USB cable, connection port, etc. Nothing, the mount doesn't move. Where could the problem be??? Thanks

I believe that this is an ASVOM issue Paul Kavansky wrote in Gemini ASCOM Forum this following?
?

The ASCOM team released Update 1 to Platform 7. This includes the fix for Gemini driver not being selectable from 32-bit client apps using ASCOM Chooser. Please test. For now, this is available for download from GitHub:

?


(download?AscomPlatform701.4630.exe from Assets section on that page)

?

This will be posted to the main ASCOM website later today.

?
So might be best to read this on Gemini ASCOM forum

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?
 

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 of connecting from NINA, try going directly to the Gemini.NET ASCOM driver hand-controller interface, and try to connect from there. If that doesn't work, you'll need to troubleshoot the connection to Gemini and the communication settings in the ASCOM driver.

Thanks for answering. I tested the connection to the Gemini.Net Ascom driver (1.1.28) and it actually did not connect. I don't know where I could have the problem. However, I have loaded version 1.1.25 and it connects (I attach photos) very well. I have level 6 installed and it is not the same to operate with one version or another for the purposes of improving the guide. Looking at the photographs I sent. Where do you think I have the error? Thanks again

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 ability to connect to Gemini.
?
Here are the release notes:
Version 1.1.28 - release
------------------------
2024-09-09 Fix for AtHome not updating when the mount is unparked
2024-07-21 fix for NINA time not matching with PC time warning message on start-up
?
If version 1.1.25 is working for you, then I'd just continue to use that version. There was no change that could help with guiding between v1.1.25 and v1.1.28.

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 find the right key.
I work with Nina and for example when I try to park the mount or move/center/rotate it, it moves a little and stops without reaching the target and then it gets blocked. I have changed cables, the Gemini 2 battery, I make sure that the Gemini time matches that of the PC, correct location coordinates, correct camera parameters, etc. I have read in some forum that the DEC axis of this mount usually gives problems. Any idea what could be happening to me?
