I originally used the FODTrack interface, which I had the PC board made for
by FAR Circuits (and now they carry it as a regular item). It required a
parallel printer port. I recently switched to the SatTracker 688 from the
ARRL to be compatible with a netbook that only has USB ports.
Both interfaces worked perfectly.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Yaesu Rotor G5400B
Picked up a like new Yaesu G5400B Az/El rotor and controller tonight from
a friend. I'm thrilled to add to the station, but need some advice on how
to best interface this rotor for computer control working with SATPC32.
Any quirks, tricks, or other issues I should be aware of before
installing? It's going inside the attic, so weatherproofing is a
non-issue.
As always, grateful for the advice. The satellite community is one of the
most generous with sharing information, and as a newcomer I'm thankful.
