Start with rot_ctrl_timeout_cb and the MAX_ERROR_COUNT check, then trace how gtk-rot-ctrl.c returns false from set_pos and get_pos on RPRT -5 errors. The reporter links commit b56d77d as the likely cause. Reproducing needs a rotctld or Yaesu GS-232B setup, so a simulated rotator is the practical route. Done means either the error counter no longer disengages intermittent timeouts, or a user option to disable auto-disconnect exists and is documented.

Rotator Control: Yarsu G-5500 az-el rotator with the Yaesu GS-232B PC interface

Hi All,

We've noticed a bug where the engage button does not remain selected when trying to connect to use the rot controller. When using version 2.2.1, we see the following in the error log:

2022/07/19 13:44:58|3|sat_log_init: Session started
2022/07/19 13:44:58|4|sat_cfg_load: Everything OK.

However, when using a newer version, we see the following:

2022/07/19 13:48:52|3|sat_log_init: Session started
2022/07/19 13:48:52|4|sat_cfg_load: Everything OK.

2022/07/19 13:50:11|1|rot_ctrl_timeout_cb: MAX_ERROR_COUNT (5) reached. Disengaging device!

We believe the issue is associated with this commit, which has set_pos and get_pos return false when there is an issue with the rotator control, causing some error counter to reach its limit and disengage the control. In previous versions, these errors were simply logged and the rotator control was allowed to remain engaged.

The hamlib rotctld daemon message log contained the following:

read_string(): Timed out 0.400445 seconds after 0 chars
write_block(): TX 2 bytes
0000 53 0d S.
read_string(): Timed out 0.400619 seconds after 0 chars
write_block(): TX 2 bytes
0000 53 0d S.
read_string(): Timed out 0.400483 seconds after 0 chars
write_block(): TX 2 bytes
0000 53 0d S.
read_string(): Timed out 0.400576 seconds after 0 chars
rotctl(d): p '' '' '' ''

It is worth noting that these timeouts occur intermittently and do not prevent the useful operation of the rotator control. A possible solution to this might be to include an option to disable the auto-disconnect-on-error-count-maximum-exceeded “feature”.

Thanks all for any help on this issue.
