Let's come back to the calibration so as to not mix too many issues. ? But, just a note that the erratic movement is without / before I started working on PEC.? PEC is off. ? I'm trying to get to a reliable point to begin working on PEC.? As for the comment 'performance won't be any different in USB vs Ethernet', Losmandy may want to take a closer look -- you now have at least two users that inexplicably cannot access all functionality via USB but can when using (direct) Ethernet.

As for the suggestion of connecting the Gemini directly to my home router, I will need to disconnect the Gemini 2 unit from the mount to do this. ? Any issues with Gemini not being plugged in to the mount motors to try out the experiment and see if DHCP works? ? I don't have a 100' ethernet cable sitting around.

I imaged for the first time in 3 months because of monsoons and other things last night.? When I tried to PA using my PoleMaster the device driver wouldn’t load and I couldn’t do PA.? I gave up trying to debug the problem and decided to use the Losmandy polar scope only to find that the reticle wasn’t aligned.? I roughly aligned the mount and was able to do 3-minute subs.? When I purchased the polar scope I was told that the reticle was aligned and never bothered to check.? I talked to a friend today and his Losmandy polar scope wasn’t aligned also.?

If anybody is considering getting a Losmandy polar scope spend the time to align the reticle.? Don’t trust that its aligned...

Getting back to the PoleMaster problem.? It turns out that the QHY device driver will not load if you have a current generation Intel CPU and are running Win 11.? Win 11 wants to run apps / device drivers in protected memory.? You must turn OFF Win 11 Core Memory Isolation to get the device driver to load.? This isn’t the first time I have had issues with 'poorly written' QHY device drivers and apps.

Are there any Metaguide enthusiasts among us?? I briefly confirmed that it works with my GM811G, but I have no feel for how it compares to PHD2 (I did only a brief test).? I have already confirmed that PHD2 works well.

I also did a brief PEMPRO session and confirmed that I can program PEC on my new GM811G, although I need to do a longer session to get better data.? Initial results are not bad at all, even from only half an hour of training.

A couple more data points ...

• I've confirmed that my laptop with WiFi turned off can also connect to my home network via the ethernet cable connected to the Google WiFi unit's LAN port
• I am able to connect to Gemini via a Direct Ethernet connection (same cable plugged directly into computer). ? As pointed out by?Geordan on?this thread, I too can now see the PEC Worm options after connecting via Ethernet. ? What's really odd is that I have been using USB connection nightly for guiding, pointing, etc. ... so seems unlikely that there's an external connection issue that is the root cause of the PEC information not being visible via USB.? That said, I am seeing odd behavior when I calibrate via PHD2 -- I typically see erratic movement/steps in both RA and DEC, more specifically, there will be steps that don't move after a guide pulse, surge forward, or even move backwards on both axis. I am guiding using an OAG @ 2800 mm, so perhaps this is due to seeing and/or PE effects. ? Very curious to see if this behavior changes using a direct ethernet connection.
• Lastly, I re-enabled DHCP in Gemini, powered it off, moved the cable back to Google WiFi unit, power Gemini back on and ... still no connection / no change to the default IP address so this is definitely not working for some reason and appears to be Gemini specific.

Hi Brian,

I followed the video, but no luck.? I did check that that wireless adapter works to connect other devices in my house to my home network?(e.g., TV)?and I'm using the exact same adapter and cable.? And I've tried the standard unplugging / replugging, power cycling, DHCP is checked, and ensured the WiFi adapter was up before power on Gemini. ??I also checked my the devices connected to my home network and don't see Gemini.

I'm using a Google WIFI mesh adapter in case you are aware of any compatibility issues. ? ?

Hi Folks,

I'm trying connect to Gemini via ethernet to see if that resolves my issue.? I have Gemini connected though a WiFI adapter to my local home network, but I'm not able to connect to Gemini. ? When I look at the network settings in the HC, DHCP is checked, but the IP address is still the default (192.168.0.111) ... should this have changed?? I'm trying to connect to Gemini through my browser at at .
