s10 motor settings

[xtgold]

I was playing with the 5-22 firmware and my motor settings(diseqc) were wacky.
It seems every 5 sats or so would go to position #1 and stay there and not budge.
As an example,83w.If the motor was on a close sat,then I could move it to 83w and save.
I had to add a tp from 83w to the 85w tp list,go to 85w antenna setting,move the dish to 83w using the 83w tp,save the 85w position=83w position number.Surprised the firmware would let me do that.So I had 2 sats at position 8.Then I went to 83w antenna setting and saved.Went back to 85w antenna and moved it back into position and saved as position 9.I had to do that ritual for 93w,89w,93w,99w,101w.Tedious but I got the settings correct now.

Try using USALS instead of Diseqc 1.2 and go form their and then go back to 1.2 set up and see what you get.

Never have had that problem with mine, but never have tried 5-22 firmware either.

can't, I ripped the defective sensors out the fist day I had it.Been diseqc 1.2 ever since.

The removed sensors are likely to be east / west limit sensors and not positioning sensors. If positioning sensors were removed, DiSEqC 1.2 would not funtion. The only difference in these "partially compliant" USALS compatible motors is that the motor position setting is stored in the motor when DiSEqQ 1.2 mode is selected and calculated by the receiver when USALS is selected.

DVBS-101: Tip of the Day: A USALS compliant (licensed) motor is superior to a USALS compatible motor. What is the difference? With an USALS compliant motor the aiming data is exchanged 2 ways between the receiver and the motor (I.E. STAB HH Series). USALS compatible motors receive calculated aiming data from a receiver, but the motor does not return confirmation aiming data to the receiver.

I believe they were the limit sensors and zero position sensors.

Why take those out?

Why take those out?

motor wouldn't move.
tried reset hole on motor and reset limits on receiver,no go.
disconnected sensor cable,motor work fine last long time.
I did get 1 day of use out of it with the sensors connected.
