Hi all,
Because of how nice the people in this forum are .. somehow I got more interested in Satellite stuff.
I've bought off
Ebay
a STAB HH 90 which looks like a nice quality rotor with DiseqC 1.2 anf USALS support.
I have done the following:
PC w/
SkyStar2 PCI v2.6c
Latest original drivers installed (4.5.0 ??)
"Semaphore" working
I connected the rotor and tried to get it moving or do anything at all with the following sw:
- ProgDVB DiseqC "plugin"
- SS2 DiseqC 1.10 => I haven't done the "patching" of the drivers .. is that really necessary ?!?! why the hell doesn't it come as std ?
- FastSat Finder
NOTHING ... no movement at all.
I have read the manual which is not really helpful when it comes to troubleshooting. I have also made sure that I respected all indications.
Questions:
- Is DiseqC "bidirectional" .. is it possible to run diagnostics on the motor (or does the protocol include Error codes reporting)
- Is there some other software I can try ?
- Is the setup of the drivers and cards OK by default to move a Diseqc motor ?
- Is there any "typical" task that I can do for physical checks on the motor ?
Thank you very much as usual !!
Nick
