  2. Unpack all files into the web server plugins folder (..fm-dx-webserver-main\plugins\PSTRotator)
  3. Stop or close the fm-dx-webserver
  4. Enable the web server function in the PSTRotator (AZ) software
  5. Start/Restart the fm-dx-webserver with "npm run webserver" on node.js console, check the console informations
  6. Activate the PSTRotator plugin in the settings
  7. Stop or close the fm-dx-webserver
  8. Configure personal settings in the automatically created configPlugin.json (in the specific plugin folder!)
    • Edit the line "PSTRotatorUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:80';" in the pstrotator_server.js and enter the IP:Port of your PST Rotator web server
  9. Start/Restart the fm-dx-webserver with "npm run webserver" on node.js console, check the console informations

Configuration options:

The following variables can be changed in the configPlugin.json:

PSTRotatorUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:80', 	// Base URL for the PST Rotator software
port: 3000, 				// Port for the internal CORS Proxy (default: 3000)
RotorLimitLineLength: 0,		// Set the length of the line (default: 67, none: 0)
RotorLimitLineAngle: 129, 		// Set the angle of the line (e.g., 180)
RotorLimitLineColor:'#808080', 		// Set the color for the additional line (default: #808080)

Notes:

To use the plugin effectively, you need a remote-capable rotor and the PSTRotator (AZ) software, which provides a web server. Admins can move the rotor by clicking on the degree ring or in the middle (manual input). The control can also be released to visitors using the on/off lock.
A gray line that marks the rotor limit can also be defined in the header of the client script. If you don't want this, set the variable to 0.

Users of the RDS-Logger plugin please install version 1.3h or higher!
