Simple rotator interface V.
Universal rotator interfaces with web interface, connectable via wired ethernet and powered via POE.
Supported:
- Three type azimuth potentiometer
- three wire from 500Ω to 10kΩ resistance
- grounded two wire from 500Ω to 1kΩ
- thre wire, used one turn from multiturn (typicaly 10kΩ)
- DC motor up to 28V/3A with smooth start/finish (PWM)
- AC motor max 50V/8A
- Brake max 50V/8A
- Natively supports 3D printed rotator
- Optional external control unit Gyrotator
Functionality
- Update firmware by uploading a .bin file via the web interface
- Remote powered by passive POE - need 13,8V to 15V/500mA source, mounted to 35mm DIN rail
- Switching between three and two wire azimuthpotentiometer in setup page
- Enable preamp and shift op amp in setup page
- Local control with CW paddle via 3,5mm stereo jack connector
- Galvanically isolated AC or DC motor control, including DC PWM
- Working rotator without hardware endstops - replace by two (low/high) software adjustable forbidden zones in end positions
- MQTT for integrated to your main ecosystem, typicaly NodeRed
- MQTT Wall - web clent shown all topics included
- Overlap support, for example 405° range, with rotate to short direction
- Usable nearest to rotator, directly on tower, or in hamshack
- Status LED while using front panel preset knob (indoor desktop use only)
- LED showing fuse failure on main board or POE interface
- Three safe stop watchdog - 60 sec after firmware without answer, max 90 sec rotate, max 10 sec without 10 grad azimut change during rotate
- Under 11V voltage POE power watchdog
- Warm up timer for stable value during setup
- Firmware detects the hardware version and displays it in the web interface
- Optionaly controlled (via MQTT) by Gyrotator independent hardware based on M5Stack fire Gyrotator
- Optional WiFi e-ink display on external hardware from LaskaKit
- Support 3D print rotator
