light bump the odd time but I'm fine with that

it's working really well my view is only 107w to 133 and its tracking well I've just been happy and haven't counted yet lol

it got cold where I am but arlo was right trying to make my own magnet did not work I have a cam sensor from my dodge neon hall effect so I thought about it grab the magnet from a motor at the junkyard I drilled a hole in back of the motor shaft not far at all qrt. inch maybe and bolted sensor...

also what kind of positioner are you using arlo looks fancy

hey arlo I'm on to something I just couldn't give up lol like I said I'm a mechanic so not completely lost when reading meters and understanding DC components I have a cam sensor off a 97 neon it's a hall sensor it works with my uniden I'm rigging a magnet to the shaft of the motor cause it...

no problem bud thanks for input I think most practical is the encoder just dont want to buy it and have it not work I'm just gonna pick up a whole other b.u.d locally with a better actuator I know were there is about ten of them hopefully I get one free like my first one 8footer I know were...

50 bux plus shipping I'd imagine

also was just browsing web and this is cheap at angel electronics might be easiest

I dont know if this helps last owner has it on count 5027 in reciever menu also in the back of the receiver if I ground the one labeled sensor it will count when I move actuator by ground I mean tapping it on chassis multiple times as I move actuator in my manual it only shows the wiring...

here is my ancient controller that was in my house when I moved in dish I got from a neighbor

sorry I forgot to use ruler

more pics

its a helipot 8535 by looking it's a plastic gear screw on no press fit dont have my micrometer here but looks around 1/4 inch shaft plastic worm gear drives it one ten mm nut holds it in place hope u can see in pictures lots of room for this encoder I believe

k it's nice out today plus 1 with snow melting I'll take more pictures thanks

also no name on actuator just a date so I have no clue who made it
