2013-05-22 Thread Stefano Simonetti
Hi, I think you refer to the lcd display that does not work. Have you tried to check if the info is displayed ok on a pc using for example the program rotator distributed with HRD (via rs232) ? In that case the issue could be in something wrong between the pic and the LCD display connections.

Hello, I don't know if it could help, anyway, I had problems until I directy programmed the pic in circuit, following the instructions on the web site. (I used a prototype board, not the official PCB).  73, Steve   Da: Yanko P. Yankov A: amsat-bb@amsat.org In

[amsat-bb] 2 AZ rotators with LVB tracker

2011-07-15 Thread Stefano Simonetti
I built with success an LVB tracker control to remote control an AZ rotator. I would like to control with the same circuit also another AZ rotator, not simultaneously with the actual I use. Any one experienced this? I think it could work with just switching the two rotators lines (turn right,t

I would say try to program another PIC and change it. I keep mine turned off for days and it does not loss the calibration. 73, Steve - Iw1RDZ - Messaggio originale - Da: Joe A: H. Vordenbaum Cc: amsat-bb@amsat.org Inviato: Ven 17 dicembre 2010, 11:42:05 Oggetto: [amsat-bb] Re: LVB

Have you tried to run the same on a different PC (not iMAc)? I had success controlling my rotor via g6lvb lvbtracker under hamradio deluxe on xp (INTEL PC). 73 de Steve - Iw1RDZ - Messaggio originale - Da: "Lawn, Richard" A: "amsat-bb@amsat.org" Inviato: Dom 26 settembre 2010, 23:0

Wouldn't you like flashing the pic with the G6LVB tracker firmware and make the circuit? (google: g6lvb). I made it with an old HAMIV rotator and a pic16F877A. LVB tracker does a great job and speaks serial words Linux could understand. Steve - Iw1RDZ Da: And
