Hi Bruce,
I looked at the webiste. It says that particular tracker uses the Yaesu GS-232 format for the data from the PC. So, in SatPC32, under the Rotor menu and Rotor Setup, tell it you have a Yaesu GS-232 interface/controller. SatPC32 then launches a little windowed program called ServerSDX that you then must set up for proper COM port number and rate, etc. Read the SatPC32 docs for more help and explanation.
A bit of fiddling and work will be required to get everything right, but magic once you get it running properly!

I am trying to set up a rotor interface using an Arduino and a Yaesu GS-550. The Arduino interface by Tom Doyle W9KE is shown here http://www.tomdoyle.org/simplesatrotorcontroller/SimpleSatRotorController.html. It shows up at Com 3 in device manager. My problem is that when I uses Sat32PC > setup > rotor, there are no com port choices, only LPT printer ports, as shown here: In addition, when I go to hints rotor > Yaesu - GS232, I get nothing! The other hints for ARS, DDE, etc. do show up. Any and all help appreciated. Butch K8KO _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
