[Hamlib-developer] Patch to M2 rotor

[Alberto B. <al...@bu...>]

Hello,

I wrote the attached patch for the M2 rotor, to be applied to the file 
rotors/m2/rc2800.c (based on hamlib 4.5.4). It covers few things:

- my control-box uses CR+LF eol (it's an old model, I think, and I could 
not get the updated PIC from M2). It was OK up to hamlib 3.3, but not 
anymore from 4.0. The way I implemented should work with any kind of eol 
(CR, LF or CR+LF - even if I do not expect to see and LF alone)

- there was a missing '.' in the azimuth set position command, ending up 
with all decimal places in the command

- the set position commands for the EARLY_AZEL rotors was not OK since 
it was sending the A command with the new protocol while the E command 
in the old protocol (the A command with old protocol was implemented for 
the ROT_MODEL_RC2800_EARLY_AZ model only).

- the get position command for the EARLY_AZEL rotors was not getting the 
elevation reading (the E command was implemented for the 
ROT_MODEL_RC2800 only).

I hope you can consider this.

I sent a similar patch to Debian maintainer group, to have it also 
included in the Hamilb 4.0-7 which is distributed now in Debian 11.6. 
This is the Debian version that support Satnogs SW and which I am using 
at my G/S, so I cannot upgrade to the latest one.
