Re: How to restore operation after safety limit is reached?
Dear Paul, Try this (it has worked for me using Gemini-1...you can try in the daytime to test it): 1. Tell the mount to Park at CWD. This will stop tracking, but not lose your alignment info. Do not

Yes i'm here :) I made note of the feedback the answer (short term and likely longer term) is you probably need a different approach when setting your limits. The purpose of limits are to avoid *any

Re: Cleaning and lubing the worm and worm gear

Re: Motor coupler- Onstep to GM8
Another thing to worry about with belt drives is that they can generate friction. But if you install small capacitors from each of the bipolar leads to ground (see the TMC chip datasheets) and have

Re: Looking into Losmandy
Hi deitzelj 5, , Great information and thanks for verifying damping. I love the look of the mount and have "experienced" one, but not with a long refractor like mine, so good to know your experience.
