    You need to modify the kct.conf file accordingly.

    Here is my own configuration file that I found working correctly.

    My Az rotor is a 360 degree with the stop position toward SOUTH.
    KCTCAL indicates 0 when it is pointing South conterclockwise (180 degrees),
    127 when the antenna is aiming North (0 degrees) and 255 when the antenna is
    aiming South but fully clockwise (180 degrees).

    [CALIBRATION]
    AZIMUTH_ORIGIN = 180
    AZIMUTH_MIN = 0
    AZIMUTH_MAX = 255
    ELEVATION_ORIGIN = 0
    ELEVATION_MIN = 3
    ELEVATION_MAX= 255
