An ERC (Easy Rotor Control, incl. ERC Mini) emulates Yaesu GS-232A/B, which is
exactly what the backend written for the microHAM ARCO already speaks — azimuth
out (Maaa), azimuth in (C), stop (S), which is the whole of what was asked for.
So this is two small gaps rather than a new backend:
- Serial speed was hardcoded to 9600. An ARCO's virtual COM ignores it, but an
ERC runs at whatever its own configuration sets, and a mismatch reads as a
dead rotator. It is now selectable beside the COM port.
- The entry was called "microHAM ARCO", so an ERC owner would never have found
it. It is named after the PROTOCOL now: "GS-232A controller (microHAM ARCO,
ERC…)".
The help text states the condition plainly in both languages, because it is the
one thing that will otherwise waste an evening: an ERC left on Hy-Gain DCU-1
speaks a different command set and simply will not answer.
Untested on hardware — I have no ERC here, and the GS-232 path itself is proven
on a real ARCO.

// Package gs232 drives rotator controllers that speak the Yaesu GS-232A
|
|
// protocol, over a raw TCP socket or a serial COM port.
|
|
//
|
|
// Any controller set to GS-232A works, which is most of them: the microHAM ARCO
|
|
// natively, and the ERC family (Easy Rotor Control — ERC Mini, ERC interface),
|
|
// which EMULATES GS-232A/B over its USB port. An ERC can also be configured for
|
|
// Hy-Gain DCU-1, a different command set entirely, so it must be set to GS-232.
|
|
//
|
|
// On the ARCO: both its LAN "CONTROL PROTOCOL" setting (a TCP port) and
|
|
// its USB port ("USB CONTROL PROTOCOL", a virtual COM where the baud rate is
|
|
// irrelevant) can be set to speak Yaesu GS-232A — so OpsLog controls it
|
|
// directly, no PstRotator in between. ARCO accepts up to four parallel LAN
|
|
// connections, and commands are single CR-terminated lines, so short
|
|
// per-call connections (same idiom as the other rotator backends) work fine.
|
|
//
|
|
// GS-232A subset used:
|
|
//
|
|
// Maaa<CR> move to azimuth aaa (000-450)
|
|
// S<CR> stop rotation
|
|
// C<CR> query azimuth — replies "+0aaa" (GS-232A) or "AZ=aaa" (GS-232B
|
|
// flavour); both are parsed.
