[TowerTalk] Re New product idea

[George Skoubis]

I use the 4O3A RotorGenius with a M2 2800 and TicRing

I had problems with the reed switch on the 2800 and the Tic Ring pots.  

Both problems are solved. 

It also uses a LAN connection so mine is mounted at the base of my tower and can be controlled via local LAN or internet. 

I use both the 4O3A program and a Node-Red flow to control the rotors so any device with a browser will work. 

It’s been working around a year for me.

Works like charm and you get real azimuth reading from a digital compass. Over a year of use and I am impressed. One controller can turn two rotors.
