IberRadio 2019
This year will be again presents at IberRadio during next 14/15 of September – 2019
Following the success of previous editions, we come back with more news and designs.
SDR Console support
Since ARSVCOM V6.9.1 the SDR Console program is supported.
SDR Console is a great program that includes a module for satellite tracking.

W8TN’s blog
Some application ideas that Clark W8TN has available in your Blog and you can visit at:
In one of its inputs explains how to put a maneuver command at the foot of the tower and connected to the ARS-USB is used to manage antennas, for example maintenance, from the same base of the tower. The link is here:

Or in a previous entry (April 14, 2017) describes the complete system to work via moon bounce (EME):

IberRadio 2016
Following the success of the first edition held in Parla, we come back with more news and designs.
Remoto Antenna Control
An excellent choice for remote control of the rotator is using an ARS-USB Unit connected to a Raspberry Pi (Aka RsPi). In this way, you do not need a computer 24 hours on.
There is plenty of information on the Internet about the Raspberry Pi, therefore, the scope of this section will not go beyond basic operation and wiring of the RsPi.
Note: RsPi is a minicomputer that runs on Linux.
Elevation Inclinometer
After many tests and trials with different inclinometers, we have finally selected one that works 100% fine. From now on, we will have in stock as an option to the ARS-USB, an inclinometer which can be ordered separately. The inclinometer is one of the best options for homemade elevation systems based on an actuator – used in satellite TV. An actuator is a system with endless motor, which allows to manufacture very robust and powerful for elevation systems, and that through this inclinometer will feedback its position to the ARS (0 to 90º) Continue Reading…
Windows 10 – ARSVCOM
MSCOMM32 is a Microsoft module but unfortunately Windows 10 don’t support this component. Sincerely I cannot understand the reason since this ActiveX has worked Ok with previous O.S. as Windows 7 or 8.1 but Microsoft has decided not to support it anymore.
