Re: SVM-HT motor (stall) full speed runaway!
Thanks for the response. Have already checked the encoder seems spotless, cable ok as working with the my original pre SVM servo. Have been in contact with Tanya at Losmandy today... hopefully will

Could be the cable or the encoder has failed or is dirty.? Do you have a spare longer DEC cable as I tell people to keep on hand fo

Closing the loop on this for others. End result fixed most problems. Tasks completed to do that:- Cleaning and regreasing done and found the Dec/RA motor cogs (under the external covers) were heavy

Pretty sure that the worm wheels are anodized after machining. Lapping will remove that hardened surface that results from that process. So not only is lapping unnecessary, it's to be strongly

SVM-HT motor (stall) full speed runaway!
Has anyone had SVM-HT servo motors that stalls? During an imaging session a couple of nights ago SGPro failed to platesolve, went out to check & found Gemini1 hand controller indicating a stall...

Re: Dec backlash adjustment
I would suggest that you leave PHD2's backlash compensation enabled.? It is a good way to judge the current residual backlash after any TVC compensation is applied.? Just make sure it never auto

Thanks all for the suggestions. I have completed all the cleaning and greasing plus readjusted the Dec worm gear. With hand testing it appears to have removed some of the backlash but the test will
