Talking Plonker Of The Year Award?

How could I miss it. 2 days of scanning in sats, saving to no avail as the motor never moved. WORRA PLONKER

I had the motor settings to USALS and not to diseq 1.2. Unbelievable.....
Do i get plonker of the year award?

No, you could have been an even bigger plonker if you'd gone and bought a new reed switch.

Least you got it sorted in the end, thats the main thing. LOL.

We learn well from our mistakes.

My System: 90cm channel master dish @1west, vantage x221tsci, skystar 2, diablo v2.3, setanta on 60cm minidish

good to see you got it working, never tried usals on the vbox as i wondered if it could work some how but guess not

wonder if it would be possible to make a 36volt motor with usals software built in or rather in the vbox

as i've seen diseqc 1.2 actuators

I don't see why they couldn't. Perhaps there's no demand for it, as most beginners will probably start with the Diseqc 1.2/1.3/USALs motors, and by the time they move up to 36V they know how to use it.
