Out of interest, why does my Technomate receiver not move from reference to Thor and remain at zero after usals set up.
My long is 1.2 West. When I tell my motor to go to reference (zero) and then to go to Thor, it doesn't move. It should technically move 0.4 Deg East. (1.2 - 0.8 = 0.4)
The dilemma is my previous receiver of which I have just swapped out did make a movement of the difference between my long and Thor.
Could this be:
1. my previous receiver had 0.8 Thor and the new receiver has 1W Thor. Would this new movement of 0.2 degs be so small that the motor will not move anymore.
The system is working fine by the way with no problems, it's just I am interested to know.
Cheers
