Ok, here is a couple of photos. By looking at the first photo you can see the leads of the reed switch are under the tabs but I think I'll make another one with some lugs soldered onto them. It's working fine but I don't like the looks of it, looks like it could move and come loose. You can...

It turns out I was right, it was too early to call. It was still having problems when it warmed up in the daytime. I took the whole sensor board out and made a magnet wheel and used a glass reed switch. I thought and looked at it, and thought some more about how to encase and mount the reed...

Hello again Brian, It may be too early to call but I'm pretty sure I got the actuator fixed. It's never worked more than 5 minutes without an error once it started giving me problems. So, I've checked wiring and even the connections inside the Gbox. So we have a solid connection from the Gbox...

Brian, As you know I've been having problems with these channels that I've thought was wind, then temp and now I don't know. A while back I had a thought...what if it is the temp in Chicago that is the problem? I started checking the weather up there and sure enough, when it was cool there it...

I have a Harmon Kardon stereo receiver that needs a display for the treble, bass and most settings. It's on a shelf above the computer and I ended up needing a small screen. I had an old portable DVD player and it works great. It won't play DVD's anymore but I plugged it into the switched power...

Yes, and I manually edited them up/down one to see if anything was better. I guess it could be in the receiver too but I have cooled it good with a fan and everything and it wouldn't stabilize. A while back after a storm it got down to about 68F and I watched Decades all night. I'm pretty...

Hey Brian, I knew the CK1S needed a switch and I have one, somewhere else apparently! I thought I knew where one was because it said "Sadoun" on it but it's just a splitter. I have another one but it is nowhere to be found so I just ordered two of your Pansat switches (this is not happening...

I was up early and plain forgot to order! I just ordered the CK1S. I hope it fixes my drift issues.

Great! I'll try and get one ordered early!

The CK1S Combo C / KU-band LNBF, or a good C/Ku. My DMX741 has went goofy with drift.

I forgot. We have a cold front stalled on top of us with sun and thunder and rain clouds right there so to speak, and now it's almost dark. I'll check for voltage Brian. I can't do it now but I'll try tomorrow between rain.

Yeah, thanks Lone Gunman and yes the dish is grounded on a pole out on the south side of the yard. I finally got time and went out today to swap the whole sensor board and the one I just put in will not count at all...nothing. There is a transistor and a capacitor on that board. I guess I'll...

Yes, it's you, but it's my fault, I'm sorry. Lone Gunman glued the magnets back in a motor (nothing to do with a sensor)! http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/von-weise-motor.341541/ I did the same because it was the only option I had and it works great! It's had a slight count loss since I...

You would ask. I't a J85 or something like that but I think that refers to the motor style only. I did know all of the details but I forgot. I'm the guy who took your advice and glued it! Still working great as far as the magnets staying in place! Thanks again. I posted back then, in January...

I think I can figure it out from there. My net is goofy. Been out for a bit now and may not last long. I think heat may be affecting a router in the neighborhood not just my LNBF! It's happened before, or water in a split line one time. I'll be sure and let you know how this turns out. Thanks...

I must've overlooked it but I'll find it. I even did a Google image search with your user name and missed it. Anyway, I pretty much understand it, I think. The +5v pulse from the optical sensor triggers the relay which feeds a new clean/stable +5v source to the controller in an abrupt on/off...

That's some great stuff, great projects. I read through that Optical AJAK thread and didn't see the details for your adapter which is what I think I need to stop the miscounts on my Gbox with a Von Weise actuator that uses an optical sensor. It's not horrible but if you're doing some feed...

Yes, that's it. I figured there was +5v in there somewhere but I just used a phone charger at the time and never investigated it further because it worked. I didn't know if an optical sensor would work at all with it so I took the shortcut to find out. Magic Static and Ponny have devised a...

I hate to resurrect such an old thread but this was some fantastic research and innovation to solve an old problem! I say old problem because I have sort of the same problem but not with an ASC1. I've got a pretty good electronics background and am a ham operator etc. I like to say I've been...

Yes, but when I searched from Google for wiring with orange, brown and gray this was my first match so I put it here in case he comes back or someone else is looking for it. It does work, I just don't know what he tried or if he gave up.

Woohoo Lone Gunman! It works! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for inspiring me to glue it! I'm a nut and bolt type of guy, don't want it falling apart you know but this called for glue and what you used may not be the best for the job, but it is high temp, rigid enough and worked great for me...

I thought I'd post that I just hooked up a 5 wire Von Weise with Orange (positive), Brown (out), gray (ground) and motor 1 and 2 to a Gbox with only four connectors, sensor+, sensor- and m1 & m2 (motor 1 and 2). I put the brown to sensor positive and gray to sensor negative on the Gbox. I used...

I think I found my problem. I noticed it was only doing it on windy days and I thought the acme nut may be worn. Sure enough, it completely stripped out 2 days ago. I have a clamp on the arm holding it on SES 1 and it's stable now. I'm working on repairing an actuator I have or just buying a new...

Yeah, there is the Acme Nut category but just a blank page when you click it.

It looks like this is what you used so I'm going to give it a shot. We have record flooding here and now ice & snow so I'll see how the roads are in the morning. It's $3 cheaper at Walmart than the auto parts store. Permatex Ultra Grey Rigid High-Torque RTV Silicone Gasket Maker...
