Configuration, RRC 1258 / Idiom Press Rotor Controller via USB port on RRC
« on: 2012-07-02, 20:59:19 »
Hi Group,
My first post here. I absolutely love the RemoteRig! Just finished getting my 1258 MkII interfaced to my ts-2000x and working like a champ. My next objective is interfacing my Hy-Gain IV rotor with Idiom Press controller card to RemoteRig back at the shack. My plan was to take the serial output from the Idiom Press card into COM 1 or 2 and then I had hopes of using the USB port on my controller into my Laptop to control the rotor on the remote end. I'm using Ham Radio Deluxe rotor right now via a remote session but would be nice to plug into the RRC with laptop via USB port and control using software on my laptop. My laptop only has USB connections and no serial and trying to avoid a serial to usb converter.
Has any successfully made this configuration work? I've tried several times but still not getting something right.
Thanks,
Chad
