For the control of a satellite antenna with both azimuth and elevation rotor, we are looking for someone who can program the satellite receiver.
It concerns the GoTo position xx command, working on the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol modifed. The goal is drive the antenna to Astra 3 initially and from there move by DiSEqC between Astra 1, Astra 2 and HotBird based on the chosen TV channel.
The motor drivers are already included in the antenna itself.
Technical specifications are available, including all commands needed. Sample of hardware is also available for testing.
Choice of satellite receiver is open for discussion.
A financial compensation will be awarded to the programmer creating working software.

If it is a motor supporting standard DISEqC or USALS (also known as GotoXX), OpenPLi supports that out of the box.

Yes, the motors are supporting USALS. I was not clear enough in my original post, let me explain more:
Our satellite antenna has both an azimuth rotor and an elevation rotor so we need to control both rotors.
The controller has to be separate from the receiver. Preferably the controller has GPS and bluetooth onboard.
