PSTrotator Set Up


 

Hi

Has anyone figured out how to get PstRotator to talk to QLog and vice versa?

I've enabled the rotor control direct from QLog (Yaesu G-1000 & Hamlib) but am struggling to get it to recognize PstRotator. There are some features I'd like to take advantage if possible.

Cheers

Hi,

QLog supports PSTRotator UDP connection. It means that you have to enable UDP Control in your PSTRotator Instance.

Setting sequence:
1) PSTRotator: Menu "Communication" -> "UDP Control Setup", choose your listen address and port. For example, 127.0.0.1 and default port 12000. I recommend you to enable "Automatically positions reporting when the rotor is moving"
2) PSTRotator: Menu "Setup"-> Enable "UDP Control"
3) QLog setting has to copy your setting above. It means host 127.0.0.1 and port 12000

Regards
Ladislav

Thank you Ladislav

I got it working, but I did notice something strange in QLog. These are the steps I took:

1. Assign a Profile Name for the rotator. Ex. Yaesu G-1000 DXC PST"
2. Select the "hamlib" interface
3. Ignore "Rot Model" section
3. Select port type "Network"
5. Enter the host name. Ex 127.0.0.1
6. Enter the port number Ex 12000
7. Return to "Interface" and select "PSTRotator"
8. "Rot Model" will default to "Rot 1"
9. "Port Type" becomes greyed out and can not be modified
10. Click Modify
11 Click Save

Selecting "hamlib" will allow "Port Type" to be modified but selecting PSTRotator prevents modification. There is no way to change from Network to Serial or Serial to Network when PSTRotator is selected first.

Selecting PSTRotator does not default to "Network" automatically and will remain on "Serial" if that is what is displayed from the start.

Screen grabs for reference below

For what its worth. You are doing an excellent job with QLog. Congratulations!
