RESISTIVE TO DIGITAL CONVERTER

RESISTIVE TO DIGITAL CONVERTER

Could not find this posting so posting again. 

I believe I am describing or looking for the correct unit for my needs.

 

Without having to change my antenna system rotors which simply supply a variable resistance reading used to indicate the antenna direction. My hope is to convert this resistive value to a digital value. This value with the help of software and a LAN ethernet connection to my computer provide a number or reading that I could convert to a compass antenna direction. 

 

I would prefer a plug and play unit with supplied software compatible with the Windows11 operating platform.     

 

The function seems simple enough but finding the unit that will do the job has become complicated. I hope that someone out there can supply me with information to the unit I need. I have three rotors to monitor.

 

Thanks for reading my request,

Hi Rich, check out PstRotatorAz. I use it with my TailTwister T2X rotator with a RotorEZ board in it.

What rotators do you have?

Hi Len KD0RC,

I have a Hygain Ham M and two TIG Ring Rotors

Hi Rich, the Ham-M will work with Rotor-EZ and pstRotator. You can check with both of those companies and TIC to see if your TIC Rings will work with them.
