Quirks, known bugs, and other notes.
====================================

In this document I will try to describe the operation of the rotor Ethersex
interfaces.  The project Ethersex (www.ethersex.de) provides a simple
linking against its own projects.  The software runs on Atmel AVR
processors.

The rotor control I realized for the following AVR boards:

  * etherrape   http://www.lochraster.org/etherrape/
and
  * AVR-NET-IO  http://www.pollin.de/shop/dt/MTQ5OTgxOTk-/Bausaetze_Module/Bausaetze/Bausatz_AVR_NET_IO.html
  
The functioning of the etersex rotor control is easy. A voltage of 0 - 5 V
indicates the direction of rotation. One output for CW, CCW and, if
necessary, the brake control. When creating the software (Ethersex) can be
adjusted by a more detailed configuration menu. The controller supports only
a subset of the command set of rotor position.

  * set position
  * get position
  * park
  * stop
  * move (turn cw or ccw)
  
A detailed description of the software can be found at Ethersex:

An example of the direct control via the command found in the File ether6.txt
