AZ / EL printed rotor from PA3AXA and PE1CKK

Just short for info:

Moved ROTCTL(D) to a separate Pi
rotctld -m 602 -s 9600 -r /dev/ttyAMA0 -t 4533 --set-conf=min_az=1, max_az=359,min_el=2,max_el=100

and set the rotor in station 3442 to

SATNOGS_ROT_MODEL=ROT_MODEL_NETROTCTL
SATNOGS_ROT_PORT=192.168.0.1641:4533 (this is the rotor controller Pi)

unset the SATNOGS_ROT_BAUD

(as from a reply from Daniel Advanced rotor settings? No reset, no angle limitation, parking - SatNOGS / Software - Libre Space Community )

This all because the direct rotor control from station 3442 by USB connection to the Arduino Nano gave intermittent signals in the waterfall, with the antenna still being fixed and outdoor.
