5.42 volts across C21. That's with a live load in the RS232 connection. I used one of those SkyWire devices plugged into my IPad.
Strangely though, the software in the iPad didn't recognise the Gemini
So, we have a live chip that wakes on load. For this exercise, I had disconnected the hand pad - because another device was present to control the Gemini.
Now, I'll reconnect it and try a normal load from the PC.
No chnge. Gemini doesn't respond. So it would seem the IC is OK and is showing correct voltage.
The hand controller functions all seem to work fine. It will slew to a target, track and do all the usual things.
Seems the problem lies elsewhere.
