All of the above can be handled by an Arduino or compatible board that has a wifi or Ethernet module. I did it with an Adafruit Feather M0 and TFT feather wing. I started development on the auto update of keps from AMSAT using a wifi version of the board. I had to pack all that stuff up when I relocated out of Los Angles but now that I have to deal with winter I plan to get back to some of these projects that are collecting dust. You can have a look at one of my posts on twitter here https://twitter.com/w8lid/status/894272192480911360
