RSS Connections > Rotor Control

Important

RigPi uses your location and the location of a remote station to predict the correct bearing. You must enter your location's latitude and longitude in SETTINGS>Accounts>Account Editor for this to work.

RSS controls each rotor through one of the four USB connectors. If your rotor controller has a classic serial port, a serial-to-USB adapter is required.

Use SETTINGS>Rotor to configure your rotor.

In Rotor settings, select the Manufacturer, Model and Port from the drop-down menu lists. If the rotor USB cable is the only one plugged in, the port will usually be /dev/ttyUSB0 plus a long name for the same port. Save the new settings and restart the Radio connection. The Rotor is initialized with the radio at the same time.

For rotors that connect via a USB cable, the long name for the connection may appear in the port drop down list. Select the long name to provide persistence after a reboot.
