I've attached a screenshot from the manual for the Yaesu GS-232B, which mentions the calibration procedure. I've also attached my measurements, which I don't think made it through last time. As you can see, when my azimuth angle is 450°, rotctl reports it at 296°, and when my elevation angle is 180°, rotctl reports it as 79°.

Being able to convert these angles in rotctl would be nice; however, the manual mentions that some calibration is possible using a serial interface and the commands O, F, O2 and F2 - which is why I'm asking how to establish serial communications with the controller. Yes, I've manually turned the rotor using the analog meters, and measured what values rotctl gives; the values are in the attached csv file, and I'm also attaching a graph of the actual angles vs. the angles as reported by rotctl.

I have a Yaesu G-5500 rotator and a "COM-232B" controller from BH4TDV. When I run rotctl, everything works perfectly - that is, rotctl communicates clearly, immediately and stable with the controller. However, the angles are off, and I need to adjust the controller accordingly. I've managed to find out that I need to establish a serial connection to the controller, however, I'm not getting any response. At all. With CR, LF or CRLF. 9600 8N1. When rotctl connects to the controller, it's also 9600...
