[Hamlib-developer] New rotorez backend in CVS

[Nate B. <n0...@ne...>]

Hello all.

Well, a coding flurry struck and in its wake is some brand new code for
the Rotor-EZ and RotorCard interfaces from Idiom Press and the
DCU-1/DCU-1X from Hy-Gain.  The supported protocol is called DCU, but I
named the backend rotorez as the Idiom Press products seem more popular.

The code is in need of testing with a real rotor.  I verified the
strings are correct to another computer, but I have no rotor to test as
yet.  Implemented functions are rot_get_position, rot_set_position and
rot_stop.  The DCU-1 only supports rot_set_position.

Since the DCU-1 can only accept 0 to 359 degrees, any value above 359.5
is converted to 0.

Only azimuth is supprted and its range is 0 to 360 degrees.

Enjoy!

73, de Nate >>
