I am working with another guy on a similar system. I found a controller using basic 2 stamp chip that was designed for the yaesu rotors but i modified it a little. Id like to get involved and maybe share notes. Ive figured out how to overcome the position issue so that the rotors can talk back to software such as nova. Keep me updated on ur progress. This is a pretty interesting system. Ok cool. I am working with another guy on a similar system.
