Hi Bob, Long time. I have seen this happen in the old KCT controller.
Full right rotation is the max pot rotation also. In the KCT case, the
control bits that were set to initiate rotation sometimes got set in the
full right turn setting and were left that way. Can you determine if
the rotor was actually sent to 450 or if it turned, uncontrolled, to the
right until the end of rotation limit switch (if one is present) was
actuated stopping the rotor? If there is no limit switch, then a thermal
switch may have repeatedly opened to protect the rotor from burnout.
The rotation bits got set sometimes and were left set when the
controller was powered off or the tracking program was closed, etc. when
the rotor was moving. This also happened on some PCs anytime the KCT
was initially installed and before the calibration was completed. In
those cases we had to unsolder the R-L-U-D rotor control leads until the
calibration was completed. Your case doesn't resemble this latter
problem, however.
73,
Roy -- W0SL

I use gpredict, which works pretty well. When you say "old", how old?
Which distro are you using?
Anything that has at least Gtk2 (which is any distro released in the last
ten years and certainly anything even nearly current) will cope with gpredict.

Hello,
Let me do my first contribution to this list :-)
I am using gpredict, that is free software.
Moreover ... gpredict also runs on Windows and, I think on mac.
