I have two positioners one for a ku dish and a second for a C Band dish.
The general desire for multiple positioners appears to be rather
low, so I guess I won't do the extra work to handle such cases.
Would it be possibles to cater for the southern hemispere by a switch.
Your East is my West.
It was probably a bad idea of the rotor manufacturers to use the terms
"east" and "west" in the first place ;-) They should rather have used
"left" and "right" (as seen from behind the dish). However, if VDR starts
using left/right instead of east/west, it might just cause more confusion
than it helps. On the other hand, at the cPositioner level left/right
sure would make much more sense, because it is independent of the site's
latitude.
So what do you folks think?
Should I change
virtual void DriveEast(void) {}
virtual void DriveWest(void) {}
virtual void StepEast(int Steps = 1) {}
virtual void StepWest(int Steps = 1) {}
virtual void SetLimitEast(void) {}
virtual void SetLimitWest(void) {}
to
virtual void DriveLeft(void) {}
virtual void DriveRight(void) {}
virtual void StepLeft(int Steps = 1) {}
virtual void StepRight(int Steps = 1) {}
virtual void SetLimitLeft(void) {}
virtual void SetLimitRight(void) {}
or even
virtual void Drive(bool Left) {} // true = left, false = right
virtual void Step(int Steps) {} // <0 = left, >0 = right
virtual void SetLimit(bool Left) {} // true = left, false = right
?
