Additional instructions for using the DOS program:

After the latitude, you must enter the step / degree or the Signal / Degree data depending on whether you are using a stepper motor,

Or DC motor to operate the parabola rotator.

You can set the parameters in the file "nappalya.txt".

Each line should give / change data according to your needs, no other punctuation, notation, etc. Can not be on that line:

Line 1: Latitude (Budapest = 47.5 degrees)

Line 2: motor type (0 = stepping motor with step / dir control; 1 = DC motor encoder).

Line 3: In X direction step / degree or DC motor, signal / degree from transducer (IMPORTANT: Calculates the status changes)

Line 4: Y direction step / degree or DC motor signal / degree from transducer (IMPORTANT: Calculates the status changes)

Line 5: Current position X direction (horizontal)

Line 6: Current Position Y Directional (Vertical)

Line 7: For a stepping motor, wait between two steps (enter the speed)

Line 8: Hysteresis (how many degrees of deviation should you respond to 0.1 from the program base)

So, an example of the settings (this would look like a file):

47.5

It is controlled through the tracking printer port. The legs are as follows:

The output ports on the printer port are located on the 2-9.

- DC motor:
2 - D0: X motor + direction
3 - D1: X motor – direction
4 - D2: Y motor + direction
5 - D3: Y motor – direction

- Stepping motor:
2 - D0: X motor Step
3 - D1: X motor Dir
4 - D3: Y motor Step
5 - D2: Y motor Dir
9 - D7: Circulation pump control (not yet in the program)

- The inputs:
15: Encoder X
13: Encoder Y
10: Home Position X (0 degrees)
12: Home position Y (0 degree)
11: Temperature to frequency decoder for the pump (not yet in the program)
