Commercial Rotators		Homebuilt Rotators
Yaesu G-5500 The G-5500 is a common rotator for amateur radio AZ/EL applications. The SatNOGS client interfaces with this rotator via the hamlib library. While a commercial computer interface is available from Yaesu, the SatNOGS project provides an open hardware design that is much cheaper. G-5500 Wiki page G-5500 Arduino interface		SatNOGS Rotator v2 The v2 rotator is not recommended, as v3 provides much greater strength and durability. These docs remain for historical purposes. SatNOGS v2 Wiki page SatNOGS v3 source code
Portable Rotation AZ/EL Docs to be written, but we do have successful stations using this rotator with the SatNOGS client.		SatNOGS Rotator v3 The v3 rotator is a complete overhaul on the v2 design. The 2020 slotted extrusion frame and larger gears provide for a stronger rotator with greater wind loading. SatNOGS v3 Wiki page SatNOGS v3 source code
Alfa Spid X-Y Docs to be written, but we do have successful stations using this rotator with the SatNOGS client.
