The ARS-Shield supports:

  • 5 relays (ccw, cw, aux, up, down)
  • LCD Display

The ARS-Shield can be used with an Azimuth or Azimuth & Elevation rotors.

Options

As an extra option, we can supply an aluminum case which fits perfectly the ARS-Shield. A 16×2 characters Display and 4 buttons are included.

A signal conditioner PCB is also available for those rotors that supply a voltage feedback < 5V  or > 5V. The design includes a Sallen-Key filter to avoid RFI. This PCB unit is delivered assembled and tested.
