Re: [Hamlib-developer] Rotator Dummy Issue at 180 degrees

[David B. <da...@ba...>]

The Dummy rotator has a Min_Azimuth of -180 and Max_Azimuth of 450 degrees. Issuing set position commands with these values confirms this.

It looks like the error is here

    case ROT_MOVE_CCW:
        return dummy_rot_set_position(rot, -180, priv->target_el);

    case ROT_MOVE_CW:
        return dummy_rot_set_position(rot, 180, priv->target_el);

case ROT_MOVE_CW should be this...

    case ROT_MOVE_CW:
        return dummy_rot_set_position(rot, 450, priv->target_el);

It lives under rigs/dummy:

https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/blob/master/rigs/dummy/rot_dummy.c

It probably should've been broken out under rotators, but due to historical reasons, here we are.
