That being said, however, there is a possible solution, that might work, but I haven't tried it. And that is, with that motor, you can do a complete hardware reset, and what it says to do, is to first manually bump the motor back to where it is reading zero, then do the reset (the manual says to insert a thin rod into the reset hole for 2 seconds). It sounds like this should bring the thing back to where it was reading zero when the firmware thinks it is at zero, which should allow USALS to work fine. Since you haven't installed or programmed your motor yet, you could be the ideal person to test this. I think it should work. |
Thanks for your reply. I could be wrong, but I don't think you can do that with the new SG2100 motors. You don't have the hole to perform the reset. Baiscally you have to hold both buttons together and turn your FTA on, this will reset the motor, however it won't set the motor to a new refernce point ;( Therefore I guess my only choice is to a use:
a) diseqc 1.2
b) void the warranty and readjust the reference point
