Loading Pempro PE Curve to GM811

 

Hi folks! Has anyone successfully loaded a Pempro PE Curve to their GM811? I see the option to direct upload if Gemini Level 4/5, but I don't believe this is what I have (and the default settings for that are a shorter worm period of 215 seconds).?

Thanks,
Ross
 

Hi Ross

I have a G11 and I've uploaded PEMPro curves to it many times.?

what seems to be the problem for you?

PS I just ran through the mount wizard in PEMPro using Gemini Level 4/5 and the default for my worm period was the correct?239.34

Maybe make sure to use the mount wizard?

Ok great, mainly wanted to confirm Level 4/5 is what I should be using for GM811 (since my mount is not a granular option). The default worm period for that was 215 and since that didn't match my 239s curve, I was getting an error when trying to upload. I see I can manually manipulate the worm period so hopefully it's as simple as correcting that.

That doesn't sound right - the default worm period for gemini 4/5 is 239 on my setup. I'm a little concerned that something else may not be set up correctly, even if you did adjust the worm period.

you should be able to get the correct worm period setting up via the mount wizard. If not, you might want to ping Ray over ta the PEMPro user forum

Hi Brian and Ross,

PEMPro gets the worm period by interrogating the Gemini controller, so make sure you have the latest firmware installed and that the mount type is set correctly in the Gemini controller.

Thanks for clarifying Ray

When I used the mount wizard, i was not connected to the mount, so I assume there is some default value?

Yes, the default is 239.x seconds, which will update if needed once the mount connects. Once updated it will remember that value and only be updated if the value returned from the Gemini changes.

Ross - doublecheck this part in your gemini controller

Ah thank you guys for the help! I'll check the gemini controller to make sure that wasn't sending an incorrect value. I was able to push once I manually changed inside Pempro, but I'm going to check if this is why it had ended up 215 after using the Mount wizard. Thanks again!
