The ARSCU_YAESU_AE is a special version based on the ARS-USB that can be used as a replacement or controller for any 2-axis rotors (Azimuth & Elevation) that operates 24Vdc as it’s the Yaesu G-5500DC
Also it can be used with any motors (Azimuth & Elevation) that works in DC (12 or 24Vdc)
In this case, the motor will be connected directly into this unit. It includes 2 control connectors of 5 wires, one for Azimuth and one for Elevation.
The ARSCU_YAESU_AE can be connected to the computer via USB and it’s detected as a serial port, so any program will be able to control it via this serial port. Moreover it emulates a Yaesu GS232A interface; this fact has the advantage that any program that supports a GS232A will support directly the ARSCU_YAESU_AE.
A program to guide during the setup and calibration is included: ARSVCOM (ARSConf).The calibration of a unit is very simple and includes a step by step guide. Also it allows controlling the rotor with a graphical and friendly user interface. It’s a nice option when you want to control the antenna local or remotely via Internet.
A tool for upgrade the firmware of the ARS-USB is included: Teleloader. With this software, you will upload new releases of the ARSCU-Yaesu_AE firmware.
