Re: G11 DC Step-Up
That's the same power supply I have. The LED meters are handy for seeing the proper voltage, and if you're pulling too many amps. Typical I see less than half an amp during tracking, and maybe just

Re: 15v from usb-c pd
This is probably going to be a marginal setup. Get a larger higher capacity battery and a higher current regulated DC-DC step-up converter. While the Gemini 2 when slewing or tracking at a steady rate

I see alot of references to the "Michael Herman" power supply but cannot find where to purchase. Where did you get yours?

Re: Some pointing accuracy and polar alignment problems during setup
David is absolutely right - 15 degrees is 1 hour which very likely means an incorrect time zone offset setting, maybe still set to DST.

Sounds like 1 hour of RA ¨C so suspect daylight savings versus no daylight savings. David Sent: 08 December 2023 06:53 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Losmandy_users_io] Some pointing

Re: Some pointing accuracy and polar alignment problems during setup
I am not using my PC when I am getting pointing accuracy and polar alignment. The stars seem to be about 15 degrees off. Thanks for the response, Paul. I think I am going to do a bunch of dry runs in

Well hell. ?What not trial it. If it works. ?Why not. You will be close to the minimum. ?But Ra ~200mA sidereal (varies amongst amounts) and slew can easily peak 1.2-1.5A per axes. But that¡¯s

Oops. Yes, that was a mistake. I should have written 3 amps not 3 watts. Thanks.

Re: 15v from usb-c pd
15 volts at 3 watts??? That is 15 volts at 3/15 amperes = 0.2 ampere, not enough amps to power the mount when it's slewing.? Or have I misunderstood? Idea for next model of Gemini:? Volt and amp

I tried using a usb-c to barrel jack 15v adapter, and it seems to work with my gm811g. https://www.adafruit.com/product/5451 I have a small power bank that supports 15v at 3 amps (edited: I had
Re: Some pointing accuracy and polar alignment problems during setup
Hi Jeff, Most likely some Gemini setting is entered incorrectly. What version of Gemini are you using, and what level of firmware? Do you connect your PC to the mount before doing that first Goto? And
