The controller uses a Arduino Nano board with a LCD display and several inputs and outputs connected to the manual control unit of the rotator. It essentially replaces the Yaesu GS-232 and implements a subset of its commands.
The implemented commands are sufficient for operation using rotctld
. It
should work with most amateur radio related projects for Linux.
Connect the display and the control unit to the Microcontroller and set the
pins in config.h
and lcd.h
.
rotctl -m601 -s 9600 -r /dev/ttyUSB0
