Mutant 2400 & Diseqc motor

[Woodbutcher32]

Afternoon all
Been trying for 2 days to set up a Triaxx 1.1m dish with a Technomate TM-2600 M2 motor and It's got me beat!

Can't get power to the motor so I can set the limits, manually spun It round to 19E to get sky and worked fine and now set it back to due South

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[abu baniaz]

Thanks Abu

[abu baniaz]

Does it work if you set it as most people do?

[Woodbutcher32]

I've set It up Identical to that, saved It and rebooted the box but still no light on the motor?

[abu baniaz]

Check your cabling. Maybe loose connection or f plug worked loose.

[Woodbutcher32]

Cables seem fine however I've just been outside and the motor has moved to 25E, still no light on the motor but I have been pissing about with settings on the Mutant positioner menu!

Im scared to mess around too much with the limits set as I cant see the dish from the box

[abu baniaz]

Please describe your hardware setup ( with regards to tuners, dishes, cabling, lnbs, ports, diseqc switches) completely.

Please describe your software setup (with regards to tuner configuration) fully. Each tuner should be described separately.

[abu baniaz]

Are you sure you have not mixed up the cables? That is the most probable cause of your issues.

Shall I Just swap them on the back of the box?

[Woodbutcher32]

Tried swapping with a reboot but no power to motor, messed on with goto x and manual positioning and cant get motor to move again.

[abu baniaz]

Identify and label your cables ("to motor" & "direct to lnb"). Reflash your image and start again with the simple setup.

[abu baniaz]

This is the eventual setup I'm guessing you will achieve.

[Woodbutcher32]

Thanks Abu, yeah that's how I've got it mate, reflashed to latest image but still no joy, gonna watch the match and get back up the ladder! :)

[Woodbutcher32]

New single cable ran from box to motor only, tried in both ports of both tuners, rebooted each time, still no light on motor.
I would have been convinced the motor was goosed If I didn't get the 25 degree East movement one time (Still don't know how I did It as can't see dish from receiver)

Head done right In

[Woodbutcher32]

Shameless bump!

[Huevos]

Have you tried the receiver on a fixed dish?

[Stanman]

Can you post up a screen shot of your tuner settings

[Woodbutcher32]

Huevos I've been running the box about 4 months on a fixed dish with no problems

Stanman please see attached, Simple mode advised by Abu

[Woodbutcher32]

Still no joy, Is it possible that It's the box?

[Woodbutcher32]

Anybody help?

[Huevos]

Anybody help?Do you live on a boat or an oil platform?

[abu baniaz]

Double check your co-ordinates. The ones you have places you in the North Sea

Shouldn't the motor still be receiving power though even with the incorrect co-ordinates?

[abu baniaz]

Yes, you should get power to the motor. If your tuner was faulty, it would have not worked at all AFAIK. (I'm sure that someone will correct if this is not the case)

With those co-ordinates, you should be inputting West.

Start again.
Retrace the cables, only connect the one that goes to the motor. Triple check the F-plugs. Make a backup of your image and save it. Flash a new image to rule out any config issues and configure as pictures. The tuner that is not connected, set that as not configured.

Upload your settings file to this thread. It will be located in /etc/enigma2/

Test one tuner first.
