H7C and Technomate TM-2600M3 motor

[thomaskieron]

Is there an issue with using H7C and a TM2600M3 powering a 1.2m dish?
Both my H2H and H5 will work the motor no problem.
I've tried two H7C boxes and neither of them will power the motor.
All Tuner A settings are the same on each box, so should all work the same??

Cheers
Kieron

My H7S runs a dish motor just fine, but requires a separate plugin to make it work. Search for the plugin called Satelliteequipmentcontrol or something similar, but it will say equipmentcontrol in the title for sure. After you install the plugin, go to settings and set everything to a very low number or even 0, and exit out; ignore the warnings. Make sure you set up your motor coordinates properly in the box settings for USALS. After you set this up, your dish motor should rotate to the next position you choose. I spent days or longer trying to figure out why the H7S wouldn't move my dish, finally figured out that I needed the plugin, and had to set the delay values way down to 0 for it to function. I hope this helps. [emoji5]

Thanks Chris,
Don't suppose you still have the ipk in your tmp folder do you or know where I can download the IPK from?
Keeps coming up resource unavailable when trying to install from plugins menu

It's probably long gone from the tmp folder, I installed it long ago from the plugins download section on the box. It's listed under one of the dropdown lists, not sure why it wouldn't come up for you, might need to check you internet connections or settings on the box.

Managed to get it! Everything set to 0000, except the last entry (left that as 1) ,but still doesn't look like there is any power getting to the motor.
And it's showing "Warning No LNB; using factory defaults" althought LNB is connected.

It might take a few moments, but if you have your motor coordinates set properly in the box as USALS under tuner settings, and all other settings set up for your dish motor, it should move, unless you have other issues like a bad cable, or bad motor? That's pretty much what I did, you may have to reboot your box after you make all the changes to take effect.

You have a long list of settings in Tuner Settings that will ask for your location coordinates for the motor as well as if you want extra voltage sent to the dish, I set mine to yes. Look for that option too.

Everything has been set up as per the H2H and H5.
Long and Lat are correct, will try with high voltage.
Motor is brand new, replaced an Icecrypt motor as that's what I thought the problem was originally.
Seems it isn't as I now have a motorized little sky dish too!!

I'm using a STAB HH90 Motor I believe, it's certified for USALS and it works great on the H7S here in the states. Hard to know if some motors are just not compatible with the box, or if it would matter. I set most of the settings in the plugin to 10 or 15 or 0, some settings I left alone. Other times, I found that the box will move the dish, but the tuner is still stuck on the other channel and satellite. Sometimes your having to go back and forth for the tuner to register and bring in the channel properly.
