As an alternative, try http://amsat.org.ar/pass.exe .
This app uses driver at http://amsat.org.ar/wispdde.exe
Which allow setup and control GS-232 rotor as well as Dopplers on or offline.
Just click on the Satellite to be tracked, rotor and rigs are settled.
Wishing good luck with your University Cubesat.

Hello,
I am attempting to use SatPC32 12.8c on Windows 7 to control a Yaesu GS-232 rotor to track my university's cubesat. All connections have been doubled checked for accuracy. In the setup, the 180 degrees max elevation is selected, along with the correct setup for the com port, and the rotor interface is set to Yaesu GS232.
For some reason, the software is only registering that the rotor has 90 degrees of elevation still. Meaning that when the rotor controller reads 180 degrees, the software reads 90 degrees. Similarly, when the controller reads 45 degrees, the software reads 90. It seems that all built in software settings have been explored and a solution for this problem cannot be found. Any suggestions?
