Re: G11 RA motor is stalls when tracking but not when slewing
|
Brendan's point of "motor drive energy is low" made me also think of this to check:
Make sure you are using a >12v power source for the gemini. it is rated from 12-18v but ideally you want 15-18v. 12v isn't going to be enough

It¡¯s quote possible the motor is slightly bad for whatever reason.? Try swapping motors Ra to Dec etc
the reason it¡¯s bad at sidereal (I¡¯m assuming it¡¯s a G1) is the motor drive energy delivered is low.? At higher drive rates it¡¯s provided with more energy....it moves faster. it could be a bad ¡°H¡± bridge but I doubt it.? So try swap the motors over.?
If the system is a G2, you can enter the WEB interface and select¡±servos¡± page:
In this you can increase the servo motor tracking percentage ( increase energy) to the motor.? Try increasing it a little let¡¯s say 35%
it could also be as Michael said or a slipping motor pinion gear
If it is still failing....get back?
