[QUOTE="dreambox1959, post: 1143071, member: 314801"] I traded in my very noisy azimuth motor for one offered by FEMI. There are no more major noises. The speed is different, the new engine runs a little slower! When I reduce the speed when approaching the destination it turns really very slowly and I stop at just the right value!! This is a good thing, but will this be the case with other EPR103 owners? I decided to count only the high state of the motor pulses (as on EPS103) and we obtain 100 pulses per degree. The value displayed corresponds to the angle multiplied by 100 from the EAST origin: - due south 9000 = 90.00° - due west 18000 = 180.00° -full east = 0 The passage from east to west is done in less than a minute. When detecting the limits, I go at full speed until I detect the contact of the switch then I go back in reverse at very low speed to detect the release of the same switch. This procedure is very reliable because after many attempts a value is obtained which only varies by 2 pulses. The seed value can be set manually to best match its location. The correspondence between the displayed index and the targeted position depends on its longitude and latitude, but this value is obtained on WEB sites. [/QUOTE]
