| While building up my remote station, i was looking for a solution to control one or 2 azimuth only rotators via the Internet. There are several solutions and i finally adopted the K3NG rotator project i already used for a rotator controller connected via USB to my computer. An Arduino compatible Ethernet shield must be plugged in the Arduino. The Ethernet shield is based on the chip W5100 and compatible with an Arduino UNO. |

I used an Arduino UNO but the code eats almost all memory and it should advisable to use a Arduino MEGA board as recommended by K3NG. Nevertheless, limiting the options to a minimum (no LCD, etc...) and commenting or uncommenting the following lines in the ***rotator_features.h*** file like below to save some memory makes it work on a UNO board :
