Perhaps you can insert an Arduino in the serial bus path to regulate your end stop. I know Amazon has RS232 to TTL adapters. Seems like a fun project.

Hi All,
For various reasons, we use PSTRotator to control our rotator/elevator stack
- mostly due to the need for IP control of the ERC-M, which SatPC32 doesn't
seem to natively handle.
It all works fine, for the most part, with the exception of the fact that I don't seem to be able to change my endstop value - normally this would be in the "Rotor" configuration settings, but since I'm leaving SatPC32 set to 'None' and having PSTRotator in 'Tracking' mode (it follows SatPC32's headings anyway), I can't see the option (it's not in the list) in order to pick South for my endstop instead of North.
I can choose between 90 and 180 degree elevation (we use 180 as we only have 360 degrees of azimuth), but does anyone know how I can make SatPC32 understand the endstop being at the North instead of the South?
Many thanks in advance,
John (M5ET)
