RSS Connections > Rotor Control

Important

RigPi uses your location and the location of a remote station to predict the correct bearing. You must enter your location's latitude and longitude in SETTINGS>Accounts>Account Editor for this to work.

RSS controls each rotor through one of the four USB connectors. If your rotor controller has a classic serial port, a serial-to-USB adapter is required.

Use SETTINGS>Rotor to configure your rotor.

In Rotor settings, select the Manufacturer, Model and Port from the drop-down menu lists. If the rotor USB cable is the only one plugged in, the port will usually be /dev/ttyUSB0. Save the new settings and restart the Radio connection. The Rotor is initialized with the radio at the same time.

For rotors that connect via a USB cable, the long name for the connection may appear in the port drop down list. Select the long name to provide persistence after a reboot.
