[QUOTE="Breadfan, post: 91452, member: 189184"] Cheers CH that makes sense but thanks for confirming:) The "floppy action" is only occuring at each extreme of movement so setting limits slightly before that should cure it. My entire set up is based on cheap bits snaffled mainly from Ebay so it's a case of "It will have to do" at the moment. Although saying that I'm already pretty much hooked and it's just a matter of time until I splash out on some better kit :D The actuator/positioner was working just great on the workbench but now it's 3m up in the air the positioner isn't getting the counts... I can move the dish fine using the set East/West but the counts don't change, so that's the only way I can move it!!! Will have a look at it next week and will prob be back here with more questions :confused:. Great forum this, thanks again, Breadfan [/QUOTE]
