[Hamlib-developer] feedback from RC2800 rotator

[<si...@ta...>]

 
 
Hi,I'm trying to build my own Arduino based rotor controller but I'm banging my head against reading feedback from the unit.I can send commands fine, however it looks like response is never decoded: please find below a session log.
 
I found a similar issue with the EasycommII protocol, however in that case I'm not positive about the expected reply format due to little documentation available.
 
Any hint would be much appreciated.
