¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThat¡¯s a great idea Michael. ? Perhaps another way you can test this is do the goto from the hand control unit and then unplug it when it starts slewing? ? Thanks ? Brian ? ? Brian Valente Brianvalentephotography.com ? From: Losmandy_users@... [mailto:Losmandy_users@...]

Having read all of your misery on this... sorry to read the problem persists. ? It is quite a mystery, and I can't recall anyone else reporting that type of "interrupted" trouble from a Gemini1 or 2 before. ? I have only this idea for you to try... ? Because you can "interrupt" a slew by pressing a hand controller button, I have wondered if there could be an intermittent contact/short in your hand controller buttons. The question is: do you still get this error with the hand controller removed (once you set up). After setting up, you can still issue GoTos from a PC through Gemini.net.? Do you still get those Interrupted messages with the hand controller removed??? Maybe you already reported that it cannot be the hand controller... if so I apologize for asking again. ? Another related question: open your Gemini-1 and unscrew the 6 hexagon shaped top panel supports.? Lift out the board inside and inspect the back of that board. Do you see any corrosion or discoloration of the traces?? I am thinking that an intermittent in there could mimic a hand controller button press.?? You can clean any discoloration with alcohol on a cotton swab. ? Very best, and good luck, Michael ? On Fri, Nov 3, 2017 at 6:50 AM, jfev5mnsvqiyzpq756wvokt55jve7sbg2esr5mip@...
