Chris,
If you’re looking for something inexpensive try the “Simple rotator interface
V” from remoteqth.com
Looks like it reads the resistance of your TIC Ring pot and will need a power
supply to provide the DC to your TIC Ring motors.
They are 98 Euros without a control panel but controlled via PC.
I use a 4O3A Rotator Genius for my TIC Ring and M2 Orion but with the sensors
it costs 800 Euros to control both so it doesn’t meet your affordable criteria.
I looked at your KM7W page on QRZ and saw a few products from remoteqth so
you know they do make stuff that works…. It may not have awesome documentation
but it’s not really expensive.
73,
George / W7GES
