dark motor

[imported_little steve]

does anybody know of any software to speed up the dark moter,
to work with the technomate 1500.
I think I heard of some for other motors.


thank little steve

I never heard of any software out can do this..
The motor is moved by the receiver sending pulses down the coax to the motor. Each pulse will move the motor a certain amount which is controlled by the gearing inside the motor. To move the motor faster with the same gearing would mean either increasing the pulse speed or increasing the motors step size.. The latter could be software controlled. .but as i said.. i do not know of any software to do this..
This doesn't mean to say it doesn't exist.. but i do keep my ear to the ground and i never heard anything about this..

but take a look on there website mate, this is whats said
in the info from a place selling the dark motors and
it says drive a dish at high speed.

The Dark Motor is faster than say the standard Tm-2100 and i think this is what it is referring to where it says 'drive the dish at high-speed'

My Tm-2200 is also faster than earlier motors..

Latest TM firmware states this
"Increased Motor Speed (as fast as 36Volt Motor)"
I have seen no evidence that this is feasable
