Control your SDA100 controller using Python!

The Python module is installed locally by:

python3 setup.py install --user

Hook up the computer to the Data OUT port on the controller. See "SDA 100 Controller Operators Manual" (https://consumer.steppir.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/operations-manual-SDA-100-rev-2-dec-12.pdf) for details. The controller must be in auto track mode.

Set a new frequency and get the current frequency:

import steppir
step = steppir.SteppIR('/dev/ttyUSB0', 9600)
step.set_frequency(14020000)
print(step.get_frequency())
