I know of the popular G6LVB rotor controller interface, which I believe can be made to
work with most rotors that have a control box.

If you are looking for rotor itself, I've seen Wimo has some small Az-only rotor with
control box (probably no computer interface) for 77€ - I haven't tried it though.
