Gemini/G11 Motor Still Stalls
wrhollen
I have adjusted the Gemini/G11 "slew" and "go to " rates from 1200 to
800 and I am still experiencing stalls in RA. The Tak FS102 is well balanced and I have tried various clutch tightness settings. I have had this problem since I bought the mount and I am starting to suspect that the motors just are not up to to task. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, Wayne Hollenbeck wrhollen@... |

the cables were faulty. Even slight movement would make them loose connectivity. After I fixed the cables all problems disappeared. I havent had any stalls since, even on 1200. It's really silly buying a few thousand $ worth of mount, and have a $0.5 cable mess things up :) Must be costing everyone a lot of money and annoyance. I'd bet some people would just send the whole thing back and say 'it's broken'. Cor I have adjusted the Gemini/G11 "slew" and "go to " rates from 1200 to |
I'm having the same problem on my 1 week old G-11/Gemini, but only
occasionally. The GoTo and slewing speeds are set at 800. It won't slew any higher than ~800 without stalling every time. I've heard of some people running much higher with this mount. I have the flat cables. I have never seen such cables attached to a motor load. Are there replacements of higher quality out there?

about problems with frequent stalls. What is Scott Losmandy going to do about this problem? Renee, since you are the only Losmandy associate that seems to follow this group who report Geminin problems - can you use your good offices to get an answer for us please? Happy new year.

Attached is my concern about stalls. A number of people have also writtenActually, this group was not set up for Losmandy devices, but for the Gemini software for PC and PDA. There is another group, Losmandy_Users, that deals specifically with problems with the mounts and peripheral devices built and distributed by Scott Losmandy. Please post problems like the one above to this group. However, I guess that Scott knows about your problem since he's also subscribed to the list. Regards, Daniel G?rlich |
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your reply. I completely agree with your comments about the motor stall issues many of us are having. It is not a Gemini problem. I've had no problems with the Gemini software thus far, but will refer to this site if I do. I appreciate your prompt professional inputs to this site regarding Gemini issues and hope that I can get equal support from Losmandy.
