A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Do all diseqc motors use a worm gear? I found a manual online for Stab HH100 (in Dutch) where the assembly diagrams seem to indicate that it uses straight gearing.
The linear motor I have here will be straight cut.

Older linear motors with limit switches will often have a worm wheel to convert rotary movement to position.

I was about to post the link to the file to save me investigating the mysteries of file transfer sites, but a33 has beaten me to it!
I hope the document will prove useful.
