[amsat-bb] Re: LVB tracker display problem - solved

Hi Howard and all,
   
  yes I replaced the display with one bought in a different store and built from a different company. Which one? Very hard to say.....
  The first (with 000000 problems) has the LCD withe and blue and numbers in the back are 1602 01A 2002, the second (working well) has the LCD black and green and... no numbers :-(
   
  Hope this helps

  Hi Fer

Did you replace the LCD with the same device model or a different one?

If it was a different model, could you let me have the details of the old
one so I could check to see if the Tracker works within its specification?

Many thanks.

Hello

Wondering if someone can help.

I just finish to build an LVB tracker for a friend of mine. All works fine
with NOVA but during a satellite pass the display stuck as in the picture:

All other functions are OK and the tracker is still tracking the
satellite. A quick restart (power off / power on) and display works again
but after some minutes it is again stuck. It seems just only a display
problem.

Same behavior with other satellites passes. 

I built a couple of LVB units and I have been using an LVB tracker with
NOVA for years without problems.

Any ideas ?
