Tim, I had some success with this with an Alliance Tenna rotor a few years ago, but the older (Arduino Mega based) K3NG rotator controller would "hunt" in terms of Elevation because these old rotors generally do not have position feedback in the form of a potentiometer the way the Yaesu rotors do. The G-5500(DC) setup is hard to beat.
Good luck! Russ K0WFS

Anyone have a simple interface for a low budget TV rotor (RCA) to allow SatPC32 to control azimuth? I do have intentions of obtaining a GS-5500 but that is a few months down the road....meanwhile I have an Alaskan Arrow still in box that I want to use until I can get the sat antenna pack from Amsat....
Any Raspberry Pi or Arduino interfaces? It's beyond my level to try to program something myself.
