I am not sure of the selling price of your positioner. As for the non-interest comment. it may be just the fact that not many know that you even have it. It looks very nicely constructed and robust.
The different flavors of V-Boxes are all over Aliexpress.Cheap ones, expensive ones. Are the guts different? Maypop caps? Version III. But in the fine print there is no difference in ver.II & III. But the reality i that they are THE only kid in town now. And I really wish the ASC-1 was still in production.
With SSR's instead of relays. A switching supply. Better surge protection.
To cut to the chase. I do not have any RC movers. The RC1000 or RC1500 catches my interest though. They pop up frequently at an affordable price.
Yes. "He" has his days. I do know that the ASC-1 is based entirely off of an NXP developer board for automotive uses and tailored for diseqc instead of canbus. And very highly likely he had a 3rd party programmer involved. Hence the non-disclosure agreement.
Codewarrior is expensive. The programming interfaces are expensive. USBDM programmers will program the MCU...with Codewarrior.
NXP telephone contacts are impossible to find. TEch support responses take days, if ever.
Therefore releasing just the schematic and parts list is understandable. A kit for the advanced electronics geek was a question I passed on.
When I can compose myself and settle down, perhaps it would be okay to message you with a link to a zipped package of everything I have here.
There is an Arduino diseqc library. To control an H-bridge. As far as the other particulars such as how memory positional memory slots are managed and such. I'm not a programmer.
Such a non-programmer it took me days to come up with "transcoder". Going nuts searching for info. pertaining to the likes of serial in/out translator. Things like that.
If I could give you some things to look over. I know for simple things that confuse and frustrate people I know. Sometimes you look over their shoulders and say....Oh, that! You know what I mean. Everyone has their skill sets.
