Check out the FoxDelta. Simple, inexpensive and works great

As an AMSAT Area Coordinator, I occasionally get questions about rotor interfaces. So I need to become better informed about the interface options.
I'm well aware of the LVBtracker, but to me it seems to be overkill for the intended purpose. It's not necessary for a rotor interface to have a big box, display, and control switches. The interface really only needs to contain A/D and D/A converters. All displays and controls can be implemented "virtually" on the computer's screen.
Is there a simple and cheap USB interface for the G-5500 rotor? Something small and simple like FODtrack, but with a USB port? I'm aware of WinRotor USB, but nobody in North America seems to use it.
