Fox Delta Postion Control Box
Fox Delta supply Amateur Radio Projects & Kits. There are three versions of
their Satellite Antenna Tracking Interface.
- ST2-RS232 Interface for Yaesu compatible Rotors
- ST2-0417 USB: PCB REV 0220
- ST2-RS485: For Homebrew Stepper Motor Rotors
Satellite Antenna Tracking Interface: ST2-RS232:
https://www.foxdelta.com/products/st2-rs232.htm
ST2-RS485 Interface is developed for homebrew Stepper Motor based Antenna Rotators.
Project uses PIC16F876A and is intended to control two stepper motors by a simple hyper-terminal commands or standard Yeasu GS232 type instruction sets running on a PC software, such as SatPC32, Nova etc.
ST2-Rs485 requires a RS485 adapter at PC-side, which can be either a RS232 D9 type or an USB version using CH340 type chip.
Two independent timing circuits are used to control speed of two stepper motors, AZ and EL.

SatNOGS is an integral part of the Libre Space Foundation. The project
aims to build a global network of satellite ground stations. It is designed as
an open source participatory project based on the users operating a ground station
hat is accessed via a web page for all of the network users.
