Reading that, I would bet that something is going on with the mount or the mount driver. Something odd, but my troubleshooting steps would be : 1. Run PHD2 and connect only the cam, not the mount. Do you still have time outs? 2. I would create a fresh SD card with Astroberry or with AstroPi3 script, and run try again with the mount connected. Do you still have time outs?
