      Hi Mike, yes will definitely have a look at the K3NG software as well. Great feedback from all of you. Thanks yr advice. Keeping you posted. 73 Albert PD0OXW

I have built a 4 arduinos each with the K3ng code running G5400 rotors.
Add 4 transistors and a few resistors and life is good.
2 line LCD is nice but can be omitted by querying the com port to calibrate.
They work Great !
Thanks,
Mike

Please let me know how you make out.
I'm in the same spot with a Yaesu G5400B.
I'm trying the K3NG route and using M0UPU's board (the EAGLE CAD files are
on his site and I just submitted them to OSH Park for creation)
Everyone here has been really helpful and I'm sure you'll be able to come
up with a solution.

Albert,
That is my YouTube video you listed there.
In my video, I walk the viewer through the steps to make HRD control the
Arduino. It works great.
Everything I have is listed in the comments section of the video.

Hi, Just a quick question on Arduino and Satellite tracking. Was looking
for
an easy setup to demonstrate Amateur Satellite tracking using HRD
(EasycommII for driving the rotator) ) via an Arduino Board for our HAM
Club
I came across an interesting program written by K9VUG
(https://sites.google.com/site/k6vugdiary/home/satellite-tracking-system)
and demonstrated on YouTube  https://youtu.be/00SW1ExS2es. Unable to
contact
the author or other kind of feedback from the net  I was wondering if any
of
you out there  ever tried this setup. Any advice would be welcomed. 73
