Control the Rotator with the S.A.T. or PstRotator

[Alex VE3NEA]

A new page has been added to SkyRoof User's Guide:

Control the Rotator with the S.A.T. or PstRotator

It describes how to control the antenna rotator from SkyRoof using the S.A.T. unit or PstRotator software.

I was excited to see that I can control my Yeasu G5500 with SkyRoof via my S.A.T. controller. Unfortunately, when making the settings changes this morning in SkyRoof as now outlined in the Users Guide, I find that the Settings menu locks up and is unresponsive to "OK" or "Cancel". SkyRoof is also locked and requires an End Task maneuver to end the program. I tried making the changes with both the S.A.T. controller and Yeasu controller on and then just with SkyRoof itself...no difference. I have the latest version of SkyRoof installed. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?  

Thanks!

Please send me your log file (Help / Data Folder in the menu, Logs subfolder)

I cannot tell without a log what causes the problem, but one thing you can try is  delete the Settings.json file when SkyRoof is not running, then start SkyRoof and enter your settings again. The file is in the data folder.

Thank you for the log - sorry I did not see it as you sent it to direct email. There is nothing in the log that could explain the freeze - corrupt Settings.json is the prime suspect, deleting it will hopefully fix the problem.
