[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 897887, member: 325666"] Now this is interesting .. whilst rooting amongst my loft for a suitable transformer/postioner ...I came upon an old Philips unit from the Dmac days.. It is an addon unit which is a positioner in it's own right but needs control from a suitable receiver. An SCC 209 Obviously this cannot be used as is ..but a nice square box with nothing on the front save a power led .. On the back Mains in 240v A din socket 7 pin labeled optical antenna control ..? (remote control addon possibly) A socket labelled 'antenna positioner 4 pins' ...but on the pcb behind the sockets is stated ..'D2BUS Interface' The a 5 pin molex type socket pin 1 = motor + Pin 2 = motor - Pin 3 = square pulse (skew control) pin 4 = gnd pin 5 = +5v Motor rating on the socket Ouput 36v DC 2.5Amp max So ..maybe the electronics of the Gbox could be fitted inside ?? All the supplies I need are there ...and switch mode power supply to boot ... Before considering the hybrid ... what kind of current is drawn by a jack or H to H motor .. anyone ? My thinking is ...perhaps 2x G box internals can be fitted ...and I'll be able to have one box do AZ EL ... my dream positioner .. But I cannot exceed the 2.5 amp limit or may damage the SCC209. Got my juices going thats for sure.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
