Hi Stefano, IW1RDZ
If both rotators would be same models or at least would be of the same type (North or south) and same azimuth voltage feed back 0 to 5 volt DC from the inside 500 ohm linear potentiometer then there are no problems with just switching the two rotators lines.

I built with success an LVB tracker control to remote control an AZ
rotator.
I would like to control with the same circuit also another AZ rotator, not simultaneously with the actual I use.
Any one experienced this?
I think it could work with just switching the two rotators lines (turn right,turn left, azimuth voltage), if they would be same models or at
least
would be of the same type (North or south) and same azimuth voltage
return.
But I think that this last thing (voltage return) could be the real
problem to
have correct indication of direction between the rotators.
Probably it is time to make another LVB tracker PCB...
Ideas?
