Introduction

G-5000 AZ/EL is a rotator built by Yaesu.

Specifications

The Azimuth Rotator features a turning range of 450°, while the Elevation Rotator has a rotation range of 180°.

Control Electronics

Yaesu sells a computer control device, the G-232A. Since then many alternative, more cost-efficient alternatives have appeared on the home brew market. The SatNOGS project has an arduino shield that, when combined with K3NG Arduino code, can act as a Yaesu G-5500 controller for little cost. See the arduino shield.
