[QUOTE="Trust, post: 955455, member: 181524"] Nothing done outdoor last few days . Took the time to develop a system for communication between the main sat receiver and the second (Maxplus 2100) receiver who controls the lnb changer . Some time ago I noticed that a diseqc switch connected to the loop-through F-connector of my CT 5000 (F16) , was responding at the commands . The signal from the switch was just powerfull enough to give pulses to the input channels of a OMRON plc . Testing with he TM5402 gave the same result , actually with this receiver it could power a lnb and give picture . My idea was to let the plc "push" the buttons of a Maxplus remote , therefore made a programm . After opening of a spare remote and do some research I found 8 points needed to select button 1 to 6 . Soldered 8 wires and lead them to 6 outputs of the plc , 7 wires (gnd and 6) from the 8/1 switch to the inputs of the plc . In the TM5402 at the sat setup menu , I selected diseqc 1.1 and run through options 1 till 6 . At the display of the Maxplus the corresponding numbers appeared , so mission completed . A second switch at the lnb input of the TM , controls the connected lnb's , C - KU - KAKUA - SL3K lin - Sl3K circ and a spare . [ATTACH=full]88833[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
