Focdelta st2 Hookup
« on: November 07, 2022, 01:24:53 PM »

 I have a Foxdelta ST2 USB rotor controller and want to hook it up to control a Yaesu G-5500 rotor and have software on the computer to control azimeth and elevation. How do you connect the Foxdelta st2 to the rotor control box. Not sure how this all hooks up together.

You need to connect from the TR1 terminal block on the ST2 to the external control connector on the back of your G-5500 rotor control box. Just match up the signal functions and you should be all set.

Here is the mapping:

ST 2                G-5500
Pin 1                Pin 3 (rotate up)
Pin 2                Pin 5 (rotate down)
Pin 3                Pin 2 (rotate right/CW)
Pin 4                Pin 4 (rotate left/CCW)
Pin 5                Pin 1 (elevation reading)
Pin 6                Pin 6 (azimuth reading)
Pin 7                Pin 7 (+13 VDC)
Pin 8                Pin 8 (Gnd)
