Starting to take shape ..
I think this little utility may well be very useful..
The 1602 lcd display arrived from China ..along with my PIC ...
So set about the build with the schematic and Hex flash provided by Mike Berg ... N0QBH
Project found on t'internet....
Build completed on stripboard I then flashed the PIC ..
and after correcting a few build mistakes and adjusting the contrast pot ..I got a result...unit hooked up to a Skybox receiver..
(This is my second PIC tho' ...either the first one was faulty or my programmer didn't like it)
Here are a couple of photos..
I have a friend whos good with code ...and am hopeful I can persuade him to write some hex that will spit out English instead of Diseqc Hex ..
..but ..hey ...it's a start.
Total build cost approx £6
..and self powered in series with the receiver and the motor/lnb
