Oh how I wish I was a programmer.. Sadly, I am not. I did however, download LP-Rotor (from http://www.telepostinc.com/downloads.html) and it controls my rotator quite well... now if I could just get it to work with Log4om :?

LP-Rotor only supports a few rotators so will not be of use to all users

Agree... could take much time to be implemented for few users only...
Actually efforts are directed to maximize coverage using generic/wide range softwares, but maybe in a later day we can add some support to other rotor systems (if they share the same protocol would be a plus...)

Don't go there! Simon opened a rats nest when he added rotator support to HRD, we received requests for support for every obscure rotator in the universe

Ahahahah :)
the biggest issue is that rotor programmers doesn't think about interoperability... bad thing... similar to CAT protocols...
