[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1140062, member: 176704"] FWIW I've had the problem happen (at least!) 3 times with the DM under the Gibby and with several different receivers, and I don't ever remember setting either hardware or software limits - no need to as the dish isn't anywhere near anything it could hit before the motor gets to the ends of its physically possible arc, and I never tried to drive it past about 56E or 44E. Personally, I suspect that either some receivers occasionally generate spurious signals that cause the problem, or maybe even that the motor is susceptible to "misreading" some genuine signals? Also, I forgot to mention that my motor seems prone to the problem if it has been left unused for some time - so maybe there's a memory retention/corruption problem in the microcontroller if left unpowered for long periods?
