[amsat-bb] Help with SatPC32 Labjack Yaesu 5500 rotator control

[Erich Eichmann]

Hello Alan, Nick and others,
I didn't make any changes with  ServerLabjack. The file is unchanged 
since Dec. 12. 2012.  SatPC32 itself only outputs the target positions 
to ServerLabjack. Only this file then checks whether the rotors have 
reached the target positions.
Is there any  correlation between updating  the target positions by 
SatPC32 and stalling of the rotor?

I also use  Windows 7, 64-bit and  the Labjack U-12 with a KR-5600.  
Lately I used it for multiple satellite passes and  I just tested full 
360° turns of the az. rotor/ 90° turns of the el. rotor in both 
direction (entered target postions in menu "Rotor").   No issues so far.
73s, Erich, DK1TB
