DIRECT COM PORT ROTATOR SUPPORT

Post by kp4m »

It would be awesome to support any rotator through a com port.

Perhaps the command and protocols could also be user-modified by a configuration file.

Support DCU-1 protocol among others.

Why not use PSTRotator?

PSTRotator is already supported.

A new feature to support Rotator directly will eliminate the need of additional software just for moving a rotator using the call sign information about azimuth for LP and SP.

PSTRotator is not just for moving a rotator, is an application with a multitude of functionality, and it is an overkill and extra cost that is not necessarily justified for just moving a rotator.

The protocol for DCU-1 is as simple if not simpler than the one to send commands to pstrotator.
