EA4TX Rotator Controllers

EA4TX ARS-USB Rotator Controller Interfaces

EA4TX ARS-USB Rotator Controller Interfaces are universal computer interfaces for automating your antenna rotator. These low-cost USB rotor controller interfaces are available in two versions--one for azimuth rotators and the other for azimuth and elevation rotators. Connect the ARS-USB to your PC via the USB port, and it appears as a serial COM port for most logging and satellite tracking programs. These interfaces emulate the Yaesu GS232A rotator control protocol, so programs that offer Yaesu rotator control are immediately compatible. Any rotator unit with directional feedback is supported and may be easily calibrated internally in the ARS-USB. The user manual, linked below, also details how internal jumpers make it a snap to adapt the ARS-USB to almost any rotator controller. Alternatively, use a separate power supply or a transformer from a manual controller for your rotator unit to make the ARS-USB a stand-alone rotator controller. The ARS-USB also requires 12 Vdc for operation and features a permanently connected DC wire with stripped leads. A software disc and USB cable for the interface connection to the computer are included. IMPORTANT: For use with Windows 10 visit the EA4TX website and download ARSVCOM v6.8. This will allow functionality with Windows 10. This version also supports XP, 7, 8 and 8.1. With EA4TX interfaces, you've got an automated ham shack. Get one of your own EA4TX ARS-USB Rotator Controller Interfaces from DX Engineering and computer-automate your antenna positioning system!
