So late last night I decided to open GFU and selected the 5.21. Something downloaded, I restarted Gemini and it updated something. But upon being loaded it still said 6.02. This morning I used the advanced option to upload file "NewGem-Aug-16-2018.zip" you linked, and this time it worked. Mainboard is 5.22, Servos just shows checkmark, but hand controller is still 1.6. I did do a slew to test, obviously could not plate solve, but did not hear the click sound. It looks like maybe Sunday I might be able to test if clouds are not too bad.
Hi Sean, you continue to see some strange behavior, so there may be something to the SD card and settings needing a full reset. I wouldn't do it just yet. From your NINA platesolving results, it appears that DEC wasn't moving at all, while RA was correcting properly. Since the original error was fairly small in DEC, the only reason I can think of for DEC not to correct is worm/gear backlash. Let's see if the downgraded L5 firmware will help, but do check what TVC (backlash compensation) setting you're using. That may need to be adjusted when migrating to L6 due the 4x smaller steps with higher encoder resolution.
