Hehehee... Well my first draft is going to use a serial port controller on the dreambox and I will add code to control it.... my second version (after its prooven) is to add 14/18v detection to auto set the polarity (but keep in mind the Vertical and Horizontal change as the dish rotates) Also going to add a dynamic skew control based on signal strength (so
And finally I plan to add Diseq to it in the end ;-) Just need to make some 22khz filters and the nice things like that. I plan to make it simple and functional (Atmel Mega88 CPU is what I am using).
So far the controller is controlling the polarotor (but thats all so far)
Linear Mode
