[amsat-bb] SatPC32

[Joe Pereira]

Thanks for your suggestion on using the Arduino Andrew, but at this stage I
am exploring if the actual program can do this function.  May look at that
option later if required.

Colin I think you may be onto it there, I know I spoke to some others about
doing this but just cannot recall it.

I think a change needs to be done in one of the configuration files.

I have tried activating the RTS+ 12V function and I do get a constant
output voltage on the serial pin, I need it to stay low then switch high
when sat in view.

We will keep exploring and thanks again.
