StepperControl is a next generation antenna tuner control unit. StepperControl was created from the ground up with all new modern technology including a
RaspBerry Pi MicroComputer, a modern multi-threaded operating system and a complete web-based interface that can be accessed from your shack or from anywhere in the world.
The combination of the StepperControl interface and the latest SSAT2K models (Symmetric Semi-Automatic Tuners) can be used to create a hassle free antenna tuning solution that is at home in your QTH or remotely controlled from anywhere in the world. The StepperControl unit provides control of 3 separate stepper motors
and 4 separate relay circuits. The unit is generic in design and can be used with any stepper motor controlled antenna tuning unit. This will allow any amateur to flex their
own creative muscles with their own stepper motor controlled antenna tuners, or use either the SSAT2K or SSAT2K-AW units for precise control of your antenna tuning needs.

The StepperControl antenna tuner control unit is web-based and built on top of a modern micro computer and a modern multi-threaded operating system. The interface allows for the creation of any number of memorized operating frequencies. Stepper motors can be single stepped, or commanded to run until stopped (button down/button up) as well as controlled through a slider control interface, which allows large adjustments with a single click of the mouse.
StepperControl also has the capability to control up to 4 mechanical relays from the main display. This allows for impedance changes, switching of fixed capacitance, even the switching of antenna output ports.
The StepperControl interface implements front end security with login and password authentication for secure access. No Desktop sharing is required!!!
Stay tuned for more on the StepperControl tuner control interface and related hardware.
