This may be way out there. Has anyone looked that the electronics inside of one of these positioners and come up with a way to run the motor with an external power supply?
I was wondering because of lessons learned how power inserters can help power hungry lnbf's and increase the life of receivers/wall wart supplies.
I'm doing tons of reading of setting up ku along side of c band on my 12 footer.
Seems there are many pros and cons. So a dedicated steerable ku dish setup looks better.
The more I thought about it, if there was a way to more closely resemble moving the dish like a c band diseqc controller does it would let me get the required motor voltage/current at the stab and let diseqc do the move commands.
My idea was if you could supply ready motor power and when a diseqc command from the receiver was received to move the dish, use the power instead of what comes over coax from however many feet away.
A schematic of one would tell me in a few minutes.
It would be a cool way to repurpose one of the old solar fence chargers I have lying around here.
Just asking is all. Thanks!
