I prefer the FTDI-based adapters. The drivers seem to just work, and even some of the older adapters have lasted for 15+ years and still work in my setup.

Hello Paul, Thank you for the quick reply. I will start by checking the cables and cleaning the connectors. If the issue persists, I will consider replacing the USB-to-serial adapter, which is

Hi Cyril, the serial errors in logs (bad checksum, timeout, etc.) all indicate a bad, noisy, or unstable serial connection. Try changing PC to serial adapter, cables, clean the connectors on both

Hello, Last night, I encountered a recurring problem. I am attaching the log file. The Losmandy G11 Gemini 1 LV4 mount disconnects randomly from NINA. I have tried everything I could find in the

Paul, You may be right about the price difference going down but, frankly, I doubt it will: Absolute axis encoders are a niche within a niche. We always have to remember that the market for

Chip, Thanks for the complement but this old dog is pushing 80. But I'm still able to operate a model makers, manual feed lathe, fix a CNC router, build and program OnStep systems, program in PIC

I doubt that price differential will remain so forever. In the mean time, after spending quite a bit of effort investigating (and in most cases addressing) the sources of tracking inconsistency and

Hi Franco This is where I left off on my latest attempt. I decided to temporarily take N.I.N.A out of the equation in an effort to rule it in/out. Based on this, I'm wondering if it might be a

Thank you Edward. I'm still running tests so I will keep the thread updated as soon as I get any significant results. I believe east and west limits do work the same but things are a big complicated

I violently *agree* with Chip on this one. To me, high resolution absolute axis encoders are just the latest example of Astro-Bling. To reinforce his point on the cost issue here is a concrete

Franco, I do not have a Gemini-1 nor experience in southern hemisphere so I cannot confirm. I would be glad to add notes to spreadsheet based on experimental findings of the group. Have others used

Hi Neil, well the update is that I tried using the info on this spreadsheet and I think I finally solved the issues with the flip. The ONLY thing I changed from what's suggested on this spreadsheet is

I feel your pain, Franco. I am also in the southern hemisphere, using Gemini-1 and N.I.N.A. I'm having EXACTLY the same problem :( So I am watching this thread with great interest !! -- Thanks and

Very nice Moon! There are those in the OnStep group who are fascinated with very high resolution encoders.? They want to have a feed back loop that will deal with any inaccuracies that that creep

Hi Paul, Thanks for your thoughts and observations!!! No idea what could cause or did cause the RA drift to reverse on 3/14. The RA drift on 3/13 was about 200a/s in 40' with a PA error of 9.1. On

Hi Topher, A few things I see from your PHD2 log: 1. There's a significant drift in RA. May be a large mirror flop, focuser sag, or just polar misalignment. It seems to reverse direction towards the

Here is my eclipse setup, not the heaviest payload in the G11G ever but close.? I had to rebalance by adding an additional 11 lb counterweight, 81 lbs total after adding the 2" AP Maxbright and

Hi Edward, this is just what I've been looking for, I've been having a really hard time trying to config my G11 to do automated flips with NINA. I have 2 questions though, do you know if this works
