I have read all that several times.
basically it's what you want: the command looks like
6E PQ RS (where P,Q,R and S are 4-bit numbers, i.e., nibbles)
I suppose, you can ignore S for the moment -- it specifies the fractionals
of one degree:
0001 1/16 of a degree
0010 1/8 of a degree
0100 1/4 of a degree
1000 1/2 of a degree
and so forth, i.e.
1110 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 = 7/8 of a degree
R is a number of degrees (i.e. between 0 and 15)
Q is a multiple of 16 degrees (i.e. between 0*16 and 15*16)
P can be one of 0 (exact north), 1 (+256 degrees) and F (-256 degrees)
BTW: + means "east" and
- means "west"
so if you want to have a position of, say, 11 degrees east, just use
6E 00 B0 (i.e. north + 0*16 + 11 + 0 = +11 degrees)
Actually, with my Moteck SG-2100 command 6E 00 D0 moves to 13 degrees _west_, go figure :( Command 6E 02 10 goes to 33 degrees _west_ Command 6E 00 00 goes to zero.
a few more examples: 6E 04 10 ( north + 4*16 + 1 + 0 = +65 degrees) 6E 1D F1 ( +256 + 13*16 + 15 + 1/16 = +479.0625 = +119.0625 degrees) 6E F1 5A ( -256 + 1*16 + 5 + 1/2 + 1/8 = -234.375 = +125.625 degrees)
I have tryed various permutations of commands but I have not been able to turn the bloody thing to _east_. -- lwgt@iki.fi 60.2N 24.7E -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to ecartis@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe vdr" as subject.
