[amsat-bb] SatPC32, PSTRotator and 360 Degree Rotators

Hi All,

 

For various reasons, we use PSTRotator to control our rotator/elevator stack
- mostly due to the need for IP control of the ERC-M, which SatPC32 doesn't
seem to natively handle.

 

It all works fine, for the most part, with the exception of the fact that I
don't seem to be able to change my endstop value - normally this would be in
the "Rotor" configuration settings, but since I'm leaving SatPC32 set to
'None' and having PSTRotator in 'Tracking' mode (it follows SatPC32's
headings anyway), I can't see the option (it's not in the list) in order to
pick South for my endstop instead of North.

 

I can choose between 90 and 180 degree elevation (we use 180 as we only have
360 degrees of azimuth), but does anyone know how I can make SatPC32
understand the endstop being at the North instead of the South?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

John (M5ET)
