Re: Changing the servo motor encoders from 256 to 512 or 1024. Any reason not to do this?
That's good to hear, Peter. Since the document I referenced is directly from Rene, the author of Gemini, I'd like to hear from him before making any corrections to it. Regards, -Paul

Re: Changing the servo motor encoders from 256 to 512 or 1024. Any reason not to do this?
Paul, I've confirmed that PECmax can be set to 32000 and everything works just fine. I monitored the PEC index through the web interface and it counts up to 32000. It's clearly misinformation. I'm

Re: DIY Spring Loaded Worms for the G11
Hi Brent - I was able to test the new motor mounts last night, and they seem to have worked well.? We had a nearly full moon, and poor 2/5 seeing conditions, but nothing jumped out at me as an

Re: Changing the servo motor encoders from 256 to 512 or 1024. Any reason not to do this?
1. Either your graph is incorrect, or PEC is introducing a lot of drift. By the end of the worm cycle the accumulated PEC value should be 0 (but it's not). 2. Whether PEC is using 32000 should be

No, it¡¯s currently only available using ?a serial command. A simple script could be used to change it. Regards, -Paul

Hi Paul, As Peter tried, I also could not find PECmax in any of my G-2 web pages or the Gemini.net sub panels. Can you guide us to where that setting is available? Thanks, Michael [email protected]>

I would have to completely clean off the old grease from the worm and ring before adding the new grease. I think you should wait for a day when seeing is good enough that you don't even need to apply

Re: Changing the servo motor encoders from 256 to 512 or 1024. Any reason not to do this?
Hi Peter, PECMax value can be set by a command to Gemini. This can even be multiples of the worm cycle. I'm sorry if you already know this, I'm not up to speed as to what you're trying to test.

I have something exciting to report. I was successful in recording a PEC curve with 32000 steps. It seems there is a bug with Gemini II PEC recording. When I first attempted to record a curve it

Tonight I was able to test? if the PECmax limit? was indeed 25600 as some have suggested. As this image below shows the the counter went up to 3200 and rolled over. I run the test using a synthetic
