HomeBrew Rotor Controller project got new Tripot and FUNcube Dongle worked with Orbitron using DDE. I modified the DDE base code from CX6DD and added the Function to control FCD-IO.DLL for Funcube Dongle SDR that received the Download Doppler from Orbitron Directly, I like Orbitron because it ‘s free and easy to use and can modified DDE, I did try WZTRACK but it seem not the full version that I have to pa for the Register, So that why I stick with ORBITRON for a while and happy with it. — I was be able to control ROROR with my Own Rotor that I build from nothing, I can buy the Yaesu which work the same way but it seems that not cool enough that always buy for the HAm gear then I build from the piece of aluminum in Machine shop so that it looked so cool,. aso very high precision too!!!!.. ENJOY and Thank you to watch my video, I almost finish my arduino Rotor controler which more cool than this.
HI I am using a homemade 12vdc motor and a H Bridge interface with parallax BS1 Basic stamp. Would like some help in basic programing for AO 51. More info on hardware at ka6puw.tripod.com mail to KA6PUW@arrl.net
What are the specifications on the motors you are using?

I used a 12vdc reversible gearhead motor product number: GH12-1926 (hsiang-neng) Jameco part number 155011. Its a 12vdc 2 rpm 3000:1 gear ratio approx $20
would this work on a vhf yagi antenna for 2 meter ham ! .. Do you sell them !
thanks, good mech, not sure of its torque/holding capabilities. the interface is real good. would like to see specs on that and maybe your software
@mikewm9v – if you see the other video’s its moving a 4/8 element antenna – muxch larger then the 3/7 arrow antenna. if you clamp the 4/8 antenna on the end it still moves it perfectly.
Very nice,my respect!
@gabadai Thank you,
@K6XOX I used 24 VDC 10 RPM Reversible Merkle-Korff Gear Motor from EBAY $19
