Had a beautiful clear night here in the UK so I just had to do something!! Went looking for the suspected sn in m95. Fortunately my star hopping is pretty...

UPDATE... Ok, I was very generously offered a set of cables by Jamie to try. Unfortunately it didn't cure it. I've purchased a very old skysensor v3 as a...
Hi Alan, have you tried making sure the cable - ss2k does not move at all? To discard bad contacts at the connection... Good luck, jaime Jaime Alemany ...
Hello, Well I finally know what's wrong with my skysensor. The encoder on my RA motor is faulty. My mate tried my handset and his motors nothing, perfect.... ...
Hi Alan, but... I remember you tried also swapping the motors to discard this ... Good luck, jaime Jaime Alemany Lunático Astronomía S. L. www.lunatico.es ...
There is an adjustment on the back of the motors that will cause the encoders to malfunction of it is incorrectly set. I think it dampens vibrations or...
Hi everybody, I bought a 12V adapter for GP mounts (as Vixen claims about it) to operate my ss2K with a GPD mount. It's serial part No 8643. I wanted to...
Sure sounds like the wrong cord. I use Radio Shack Adapta-Plug products to power almost all of my mounts. You can buy a generic 12V cigarette plug adapter cord...
Be careful. A lot of the older Vixen mounts are positive ground. The DD-1 I know for sure is positive ground. I have that controller. Rikk Stearman Plato...
Thanks Chris, Â Â It sure helps. But don't forget that this is an adapter made by Vixen. Polarity is OK. Strange thing is that contrary to what i wrote...
Yes, that is what I was saying about plug polarity. Christopher Erickson Consulting Engineer Summit Kinetics Waikoloa, HI 96738 www.summitkinetics.com _____ ...
Oh, i did not know that. I bought both DD-1 and ss2k during 2006, new. I guess concerning the ss2k it should have been one of the last units made because...
Chris and Rikk, Â Â I checked both the DD-1 and ss2K. They are negative tipped. I guess by "negative tipped" we mean that the tip which is in the center of...
I have been supplying power cables for these for several years and it always worries me that there is the difference in polarity on the power lead, it is just...
Over time, different Vixen products have had different plugs and polarities. I suspect that you received a power supply for a Starbook or something that is not...
Hi, regarding this, and to avoid problems, I did replace in the past the female jack of the ss2k for a "normal" one (centre positive). It takes very basic ...
I have a Vixen GPDX with Skysensor 2000PC in excellent condition for sale in the U.S. at a very reasonable price. Contact me by email if interested. Thanks. ...
If you were to decide to break out the SS2K I would be interested. I already have a GP and two GP-DX's. I agree that $900 is a good deal for the combination! ...
Definitely i will try something else. But there is no mistake. I am sure polarities are OK and the cable i have is for GP. It fits and works perfectly on DD-1...
And besides Chris, i already had purchased the Vixen's cable for the Star Book (by a mistake) and that one clearly did not fit the ss2K power receptor. You...
Given that the SS2K has a positive ground (center pin negative) system, I would be extremely cautious about hooking other stuff up to the same power supply....
I don't have enough information to say. Christopher Erickson Consulting Engineer Summit Kinetics Waikoloa, HI 96738 www.summitkinetics.com _____ From:...
"asking for accidents". I did that one night. I plugged the battery pack from my Vixen SP DD-1 controller in to one of my Meade telescopes. It in a hart bet...
I understand Chris. Thank you very much for your help. Â Nick ________________________________ From: Christopher Erickson <christopher.k.erickson@...> ...
Yes, asking for accidents is the right phrase i guess. I am not planning even to give it a try. Â Nick ________________________________ From: Richard A...
