Cant you program a meter face based on voltage?
Does'nt the rotor controller display work on voltage?

That is what my original plan was.

I may not be conveying my thoughts correctly on this one. You can
program the meter face based on voltage. However, getting the controller

Because those people are just using SkyCommand now? Granted, only one
rig, but the control/feedback makes the SM100 look like a stone knife.

Yes, the RC210 is quite capable of displaying (reading back) an
antenna heading based on a varying voltage and giving that readback
in degrees. Since most rotors use an internal pot-derived voltage
divider as the source for driving their meter, it is simply a matter
of checking the voltage
Some rotors had a variable resistor in them for direction, the cornell
dubilers come to mind and I think the yaesu's too.
