Actuator control requires a simple interface device for the computer to control direction and power to a motor. This also requires a driver which has already been made. Then there is the option to make a diseq controller box that makes actuators look like rotors. They can be home made: http://w

Hi, Sorry I don't like such requests where the step implementing this would be the third step before doing the first one. Afaik rotors are controlled by diseqc commands. What about a flexible configuration and creation of diseqc.conf directly in vdr? Controlling a rotor would be the next step! Jus
