I'm trying to get my WS9036 back into service but the motor control is acting weird.
1. When I stop the dish to set limits, the motor moves the dish back to the 0 position before I get the limit set without me doing anything to move the dish.
2. Sometimes the dish moves back to 0 after moving to a satellite without me doing anything to cause that.
3. Sometimes the dish just stops when select I "move west" from webif but doesn't make it to the limit. webif says it's moving but it isn't. I'll stop the movement and start again but the motor won't turn west. It will go back to 0 though when commanded.
Time for a new motor? I didn't get much use out of that motor. Oh, the motor is connected to the osmio4k via a 1x4 (or is that 4x1) switch.
