[QUOTE="Trust, post: 883718, member: 181524"] [SIZE=5][B]Usals modification for H2H motors[/B][/SIZE] I modified a few H2H 36 V motors so they can be controlled by Usals . Its nessesary to generate approx. 40 pulses / 1º movement of the dish , therefore you have to change the reedswitch for a optical pulser . The motor of a[B] FIBO 120 cm Gregorian [/B]already was provide with such pulser with only 1 hole in the pulswheel , but to be exact for Usals it should be 6 and a half . Far from exact but by changing the Latitude in the Usals menu to a more North position it workt fine with 6 holes . I used a old Clearmax CX2200 positioner , built the circuitboard of a SG2100 to it and used the east/west relays and the transformer . This transformer produce also 12 volt ( most V-Boxes do also) and so i added a switch to have the choice between 36 and 12 volt to steer the motor (less noisy and exact) By the lack of the SG2100[B] zero[/B] and [B]end[/B]-switches you cant use the "Go to reference" command . Therefore you must steer the motor manual . With the east and west switches on the front , it is possible to steer the motor without any effect to the memory of Usals . Also did the job with a [B]RM120[/B] wich i have 2 , one with reedswitch , the other optical with a 10 hole wheel wich should be 66 holes . Impossible to dril 66 holes to the edge of a 40 mm dia wheel , the space in the housing of that RM120 allowed a increase to 60 mm, still tricky , so i made 66 slots of 2 mm . I attached a SG2100 without the worm-shaft and motor on top of the RM120 to make use of the zero and end-switches and the "Go to reference" command . Removing the worm-shaft and motor , gives space for the contactor-interface , powered by a 30 V printer adapter . Last job is a [B]AJAK Horizon 180 [/B], it has a reedswitch to a 5 magnet wheel , attaching a hood of a 50 mm pvc drainpipe with 48 slots to that wheel , was exactly the need for my latitude . To determine the correct amount of pulses i attached a printed protractor to the rotor and by making use of a separate puls counter and turn the rotor 10º By using GAAPS , a calculator of Moteck , its possible to see on the degree scale how far the rotor turns at a diseqc command . With the SMR 1224 from Rimants , we found that one turn of the magnet wheel , provides 4 pulses and it makes 2,875 rotation / 1 degree rotation of the main shaft . So with a 14 slot pulswheel and a optical sensor it can operate with Usals with the additional electronics .[ATTACH=full]64549[/ATTACH][ATTACH]64549[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64551[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64553[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64554[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
