Alphaspid rotor support

Post by F5JSD »

Hi Colin,

Is there any possibility that WL32 could control Alphaspid rotators?
I am in a project to remotely control my station via Internet.

Alphaspid rotators have an RS232 port that can receive commands and send position feedback back to the PC using a serial line.

The protocol seems simple and is decribed here: http://alfaradio.ca/downloads/program_info/

This is already supported by several other applications:

This is a low priority item anyway.

Thanks in advance for considering this.

Hi Pascal

Try it with LP-rotor software, Winlog32 can use tLP-Rotor as an interface directly like with ARSWIN, I believe LP-Rotor works with some Yaesu rotators.

Thanks Colin,

I did not know this nice piece of software. I made a first trial that did not work. I will keep investigating configuration and post any result here.
