Before I get too carried away with my design for a controller for my antenna for accessing OSCAR satellites I wondered if anyone out there might have had a go at this?
There are many possible features but the basic idea is to replace a Kansas City Tracker (a very good but obsolete VLB-bus PC card) with a PICAXE + LCD to control the Yaesu G5500 controller and the radio uplink and downlink frequencies from the orbit calculations done on the PC. This isn't hard in principle but any experience I could tap into would be helpful.
