[amsat-bb] Question wrt Arduino and Satellite tracking

[Mike Sprenger]

 I have built a 4 arduinos each with the K3ng code running G5400 rotors.

Add 4 transistors and a few resistors and life is good. 

2 line LCD is nice but can be omitted by querying the com port to calibrate.  

They work Great !

Thanks,
Mike
