all aspects of a Roll-Off-Roof-Observatory (RORO). This innovative
device makes remote control of a RORO convenient and easy. It does
it all, including parking the mount, detecting rain events, opening/closing/stopping
the roof, and more. RRCI is an electronic, computer controlled device
based a PIC microcontroller (PIC16C56 from Microchip Technology
Inc.). RRCI will actively control the operation of a roll off roof
observatory via a computer interface. Moreover, RRCI is capable
