Had a power cut here ...
only brief ..but when the power came back on ....I heard a loud clang outside ..and carl had swung to the extreme west an now will not move ..
The dish has overshot both the Gbox limits and presumably internal limit switches ...and now the motor simply wont move ...
Too dark now to check the damage ..but I suspect major motor damage as the Gbox still registers movement though nothing is moving ..
Gears stripped maybe ??
I feel sick atm ..
Doh!!!
