since a few months i decided to make my own positioner :
-i need to manage 2 actuators (azimut elevation)
-i need polarotor command (co-rotor chapparal)
- 200 positions (c/ku/ka)
- and lnb changer !!!
- remote control + keyboard + usb for upgrade .
i have used an old moteck positioner and a 8752 developement board .
a few weeks later
i have ordered from china a printed board ( one main and 3 slave)
i built the "prototype"!
and after few weeks of debuging ...
it s takes time to build it but it s very easy to use !
when select a program on my E2 receiver , Diseqc is read by positioner
sat number and lnb input .
sat number drive dish in azimut and elevation
14/18V drive polarotor
lnb input send command to lnb changer (input1 is send as sat1 to changer)
a large LCD screen show every commands
thats all for today
