The LNB changer is a Technirotor which is a DiSEqC 1.2 motor? It should work directly from the dreambox1959 positioner with no extra V-Box :confused

no , suedschwede has build a changer where there is only motor , limit switch and reed switch no board with microprocessor .

for those who need more than two jacks i have thought of an additional card to add to my basic positioner.

hello to those who followed me in the realization of the positioner (JPCPOSI).
-I have optimized the transfer of EEPROM data from a PC.
-I have created a PC software for reading / modifying / saving data.
-I improved the management of DISEQC orders.
tell me where you are in your construction.

Hi,
yes, please, your positioner.
I know you're just a hobbyist, but you have already built a positioner for the guys from this forum.
I have everything - actuators, corotor and channel master 240. I'm not in a hurry. Thank you.

hi dan!
i ll send you a positionner , so inside the eeprom memory i ll put 2000 as index for every sat cause i don t have any datas for your mount !
when you use it for the first time select a sat by name and move the dish for the right place.
send me some pictures of your mount .

Hello dreambox1959,

I am currently still looking for a mounting frame for the display, so my further construction of the positioner has come to a standstill. Do you still have sources for the mounting frame?

best regards
suedschwede

two ways for a mounting frame :
cut yourself in a plastic box front face (or thin aluminium)
or buy a superb front face from schaeffer . that s what i do.

for anyone who had my "JPCposi" I had made improvements and fixed errors in the firmware so buy a USBASP programmer (less than 10 euros) and make a programmer cable
