If you are using a positioner (also known as "motor" or "rotor") to move your
satellite dish to receive various satellites, you will be using the 'P' command
in the <tt>diseqc.conf</tt> file. This command sends the necessary data to the
positioner to move the dish to the satellite's orbital position. By default VDR
uses its builtin DiSEqC positioner control. If your positioner requires a different
method of controlling (like maybe via a serial link), you can derive a class
from <tt>cPositioner</tt>, as in
<p><table><tr><td class="code"><pre>
#include &lt;vdr/positioner.h&gt;
class cMyPositioner : public cPositioner {
private:
void SendDiseqc(uint8_t *Codes, int NumCodes);
public:
cMyPositioner(void);
virtual void Drive(ePositionerDirection Direction);
virtual void Step(ePositionerDirection Direction, uint Steps = 1);
virtual void Halt(void);
virtual void SetLimit(ePositionerDirection Direction);
virtual void DisableLimits(void);
virtual void EnableLimits(void);
virtual void StorePosition(uint Number);
virtual void RecalcPositions(uint Number);
virtual void GotoPosition(uint Number, int Longitude);
virtual void GotoAngle(int Longitude);
};
</pre></td></tr></table><p>
See the implementation of <tt>cDiseqcPositioner</tt> in <tt>diseqc.c</tt> for details.
<p>
You should create your derived positioner object in the
<a href="#Getting started"><tt>Start()</tt></a> function of your plugin.
Note that the object has to be created on the heap (using <tt>new</tt>),
and you shall not delete it at any point (it will be deleted automatically
when the program ends).
