Is it possible to see where rotor is currently positioned in vdr-rotor?
No, there is no feedback from the rotor, so the plugin can't know.
But plugin may calculate it itself, I can't as a human when I move few steps east or west... after few moves I don't know where rotor is directed.
This could only work when you only drive stepwise east/west. As soon as you send another command like "Drive East" or "Goto Position" the plugin can't know where the rotor is positioned.
Your rotor must be directed to True South.
It is not, and I have no problems with using it in Windows.
When it works in Windows it should also work with VDR :-)
To adjust all stored position you must find one satellite
and then send
the recalculate command.
Yes, I am trying to do it (as in Windows), but I am unable to find anything with vdr-rotor, because signal information is always positive, I don't understand how it works. I can move rotor step by step and I don't see signal lows and highs.
The plugin shows the signal strength of the currently tuned channel. To find a satellite you have to enter frequency, polarisation and symbolrate of a transponder (e.g look at lyngsat.com) on the satellite you searching for (and press OK). You wrote that you used the rotor already with windows. So why don't you just Goto the (in your rotor) stored position? You just have to type in the position number (in the row where you can select the satellite) and press the green button (Goto Pos).
