Due to the need for some remote kind of controller for my G-5500 Rotator i did build the K3NG https://blog.radioartisan.com/yaesu-rotator-computer-serial-interface/
Used 2 pcs Atmega 2560 and 2 pcs w5500 Ethernet shields , a joy stick and a I2C LCD and some 2n2222.
Because of K3NG's super code, it was not a big project.
The only issue was to find out how to configure the 2 pcs of software so they play together..
A hint is to program the box at the G-5500 controller - first as a stand alone box and get everything running.
Then you can change the feature to "slave" and then setup the box you shall have in your remote shack.
There is a VERY good wiki https://github.com/k3ng/k3ng_rotator_controller/wiki READ IT ;o)
I use Ham Radio Deluxe to manage my beam direction - direct from the logbook - Great setup.
Have fun ...AND THANKS to K3NG ;o)
