Hello,

Am relaying the latest developments on the CNCTRK system hardware.

UPDATE: 2016-05-25 Arduino Interface for CNCTRK/RAZEL Positioner Developed For Use With SATPC32

An Arduino SKETCH has been developed to allow interfacing the RAZEL hardware to any tracking software using the Yaesu GS-232 protocol. This enables the AZ/EL stepper motor based positioner to be used from SATPC32, GPredict, and others *without using the CNC-based system* on the Raspberry Pi or laptop. The interface has only been tested with SatPC32, so far.

Arduino connections (pinouts) and detailed descriptions can be found here: http://ki4sbl.dodropin.org/CNCTRK

The Arduino Sketch is found here: http://ki4sbl.dodropin.org/CNCTRK/Arduino/RAZEL-duino_cmd-no-display.ino

Thanks to Tom, W9KE, for a nice start on the GS-232 interface code, though any errors are all mine!

Comments, corrections, and feedback are welcomed.

Have fun! 73 Bob KI4SBL
