[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1112676, member: 415308"] When trying to nudge the dish using my V-Box, each nudge is usually two pulses. Would using a PWM motor speed controller like this work to slow the actuator down (or rather reduce time the power is sent to the motor) and achieve a one pulse nudge? [code]https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCELI-Upgraded-Controller-Regulator-Support/dp/B07MQ13ZGX/[/code] My thinking is - if PWM is set to 50% the motor will only receive power for half the time, and only move around half as far - unless the V-Box is waiting for two pulses before stopping.
