spare TM2600 motor stuck (not mounted, so can easily test anything)

[Manikm909]

hi guys

i have 2 spare motors.

was gonna stick em on ebay

however, one is stuck at 70 degrees east, if i use the button for east \ west, i can send it further east, but i can only get it back to 70east, i cant get it to beyond that, therefore, i cant send it to 0.

not sure if its nackered, or a setting perhaps?

Have the hardware limits moved? One of my previous posts has photos, you'll need to remove the stub with an allen key first:

Before I start again few questions 1 - best sat to align 2 - Dish elevation to set 3 - Dish attached to stub position low , middle or up 1 - we've already told you! 2 - Ditto - but don't forget there are two settings involved: elevation (motor on mast), declination (dish on motor stub). 3 -...

hmmm how the hell do you remove the stub \ mount

EDIT: easy - one bolt \ alan key!

EDIT2: fixed! i moved both limiters to max setting - worked after that!

thanks everyone.

Remove the bolt with an allen key, the stub should then pull off. If it's seized then it's probably not worth the bother.

edit: never mind, well done fixing it
