Hi!

I do not have any rotator, but same as I today replied for rigctld:

Remove "run rotctld at program start", set host = localhost, port 4533, poll 2000 (easier to follow).
Open 2 console windows.

1st window type:
/usr/bin/rotctld -m 1 -vvvvv -r -t 4533

2nd window type:
telnet localhost 4533

When connected type:
P 120 0
to set dummy rotator to 120 deg, elevation 0

Open cqrlog and window/rot control. Look what happens in 1st console.

cqrlog should show 120 deg. On 2nd console give:
P 270 0
from cqrlog you should see rotator turning.

So far so good.

Type call to NewQSO:
W1AW and leave callsign filed. You should see direction on right side of New QSO.
By looking at 1st console press "Short path". You should see that cqrlog sent a command to rotctld.

For some reason in my test only "Long Path" makes rotator turn. Both send similar command anyway.

When this demo works return you true rotator settings to cqrlog and restart it.
When running give console command:
ps ax | grep rot
paint and copy the line showing rotctld and its parameters.
Close cqrlog.
Paste command to console and add -vvvvv parameter to those exisiting ones and press enter.

Look for any error messages

When it runs open second console and give:
telnet localhost 4533
when connected give
p
You should get current position and elevation like "p 100 0"
Type command
P 30 0
rotor should turn. If not, see 1st console for error massages.

When you can drive your rotator with telnet it should work also with cqrlog.
