CX6DD Rotator Controller for Yaesu 5400.
The following pages, detail a modified version of Fernando’s CX6DD rotor controller,
which I have modified to interface directly with the Yaesu series of az / el rotors, to
enable tracking of NOAA satellites.
When coupled with David Taylor’s excellent WXTrack, which has recently been
modified to drive this controller,(or several other amateur tracking programs, using
Wispdde), the combination provides a cheap and accurate method of antenna tracking.
I have included in this document, pcb designs, schematics and some pictures of the
prototype.
The pcbs have been designed as pth, but with some difficulty they could be made
unplated and soldered both sides.
I can supply the pcbs and the programmed pic if required, or the hex file is available
from Fernando’s site http://www.chasque.apc.org/franky/6ddrc/6ddrceng.htm
Anyone wishing to contact me can do so at gramar@netaccess.co.nz
Wxtrack can be downloaded from David’s site……
