Hello all, I sometimes need to realign my dish or some friend's dish and I always need to carry a tuner and a monitor on the roof.
I don't need it as often to buy a satellite pointing equipment so this is the idea:
I have an unused skystar usb device and I was wondering if it's possible to make a little arduino sketch that simply set the tuner to a given frequency and display strenght and quality on a 16x2 lcd.
No problem for the display part...the hard part is to interface arduino and usb skystar.
Maybe someone have a good idea?
Of course if arduino and skystar could interact it would be possible to send also disecq command, motor command and so on...but this could be the rest of the story.
Massimo.
