Ground Station with yaesu G450 rotor

SatNOGS
1

Hello,

i’d like to set up a second ground station using the Yaesu rotor G450, only altazimuthal (non elevation). I have in stock (still to connect to rotor control) an ERC version 4.
My question is: what can I use to control the rotor in the station ? Can I use the Arduino shield for the alt/az Yaesu, or can I use the ERC ?
Or other solutions ?

Thanks

You can use the ERC as it takes the Yaesu protocol from the pi just fine.

I’m using Rotor Model 603 with the ERC-M
