light bump the odd time but I'm fine with that

it's working really well my view is only 107w to 133 and its tracking well I've just been happy and haven't counted yet lol

it got cold where I am but arlo was right trying to make my own magnet did not work I have a cam sensor from my dodge neon hall effect so I thought about it grab the magnet from a motor at the junkyard I drilled a hole in back of the motor shaft not far at all qrt. inch maybe and bolted sensor...

also what kind of positioner are you using arlo looks fancy

hey arlo I'm on to something I just couldn't give up lol like I said I'm a mechanic so not completely lost when reading meters and understanding DC components I have a cam sensor off a 97 neon it's a hall sensor it works with my uniden I'm rigging a magnet to the shaft of the motor cause it...

no problem bud thanks for input I think most practical is the encoder just dont want to buy it and have it not work I'm just gonna pick up a whole other b.u.d locally with a better actuator I know were there is about ten of them hopefully I get one free like my first one 8footer I know were...

50 bux plus shipping I'd imagine

also was just browsing web and this is cheap at angel electronics might be easiest

I dont know if this helps last owner has it on count 5027 in reciever menu also in the back of the receiver if I ground the one labeled sensor it will count when I move actuator by ground I mean tapping it on chassis multiple times as I move actuator in my manual it only shows the wiring...

here is my ancient controller that was in my house when I moved in dish I got from a neighbor

sorry I forgot to use ruler

more pics

its a helipot 8535 by looking it's a plastic gear screw on no press fit dont have my micrometer here but looks around 1/4 inch shaft plastic worm gear drives it one ten mm nut holds it in place hope u can see in pictures lots of room for this encoder I believe

k it's nice out today plus 1 with snow melting I'll take more pictures thanks

also no name on actuator just a date so I have no clue who made it

I think I'm gonna buy a few reeds magnets and the encoder gonna tinker lol also the encoder sounds more practical for counts also I cant find any option in my uniden sq560 to change what sensor I'm using In manual it says its compliant with reed optical and hall hopefully just works when hooked...

also my last question u guys have been so helpful I decided to try and rig a reed my main question is do actuators with reed sensors use single throw or double throw

my controller Is a ancient uniden sq560 that I found in my house when I moved in in the sq560 manual it only list 3 sensors that its compatible with reed,optical,hall lol more info of what I have lol . the dish I got from a neighbor that did not want it I removed it and he had no controller or...

see now this is a much easier upgrade if possible just attach to gear from pot leave every thing existing and its optical how many wires run this though

thanks for the replys were can I buy a reed switch that will work for this project thank

I was thinking about this before even posting I was thinking attach magnets to potentiometer gear and fabricating a steel bracket to hold a hall or reed sensor how many counts does it need tho 60 or 30 or so on

thanks I am a mechanic so wiring and rigging isint a problem but I got my eye on two other buds that clearly are not being used in yrs in wpg Canada were I live so probably just gonna pick up one or both

how would I go about doing this it works fine but wish I could program sat positions

dish moves fine I just dont have any counts

or does anyone have a newer extra actuator kicking they would sell cheap
