Hi Henk,
The "easy" answer is to buy an LVB tracker board but I completely understand wanting to use the hardware you put so much time and effort into building from scratch. I have done a little work with Python, which is completely cross platform, and think it would be a natural for doing the translation you need. One possibility would to have SatPC send the pointing info in "easycom" format to a virtual serial port that the Python program reads and translates then sends it out a "real" serial port to the rotor interface. As a non-programmer, that would "'my" path of least resistance.
