Hi all.
I have plugged away at trying to get my setup complete. Ive searched the net and tutorials on here for how to setup the motor either by usuals or diseqc and for the life of me im drawing blanks.
My hardware:
VU+ solo 2
Technomate tm2600 motor (2nd hand but as new condition)
60cm dish from a friend 2nd hand fitted with a octo lnb. With a twin coax lead fitted one to the motor and then from motor to lnb port 1 and then one cable straight to through from reciever to lnb port 2
Current situation:
Dish and motor installed and cabling to sat box.
Hard stops have been setup on the motor which is fitted to a plumb level pole. Motor bracket angle set to my latitude at 53 and dish declanation angle set at 22.4 as per instuction manual of motor. Dish has been roughly pointed to true south with the motor factory reset on 0 for this. (All above are obviously preliminary values)
I have vix installed and have tried different way of setting the tuner up in advanced and position to get things working to drive the motor. Once i set the tuner the motor does light up and i can manually drive it by the button east and west. But i cant get the motor to gotox via the positioner setup menu. It just stays illuminated on the disb and doesnt move.
My aim was to drive it to 0.8 thor and get up there with my sat meter to fine tune but the motor wont goto x via tbe reciever. Can any one help me out please..
Cheers jon.
