DiSEqC Protocol

JohnGuy

Hello out there,

Does anyone have any experience programming packets for the Eutelsat DiSEqC Protocol ?

Specifically, I have a DiSEqC-enabled satellite dish rotator and I want to be able to command it to turn East or turn West, using a microcontroller.

Thanks,
JohnGuy···

A good place to start would be an overview of the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiSEqC

Here's the actual specification located on this page: http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/4_5_5.html

And probably the most helpful, using a PIC microcontroller to interface with DiSEqC: http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/pdf/Diseqc/associated%20docs/applic_info_PIC_microcontroller.pdf

Make sure you thoroughly research the protocol, and the hardware and software necessary to make your microcontroller and your DiSEqC equipment(s) cooperate.

Good luck!
