[amsat-bb] rotor computer interface

[Mike Sprenger]

Hi Mike,

I like building the controllers that you can build on an Arduino.

K3NG has provided the software, works great.  I am not a software
developer, but I found it quite reasonable to review and adjust the
settings in the source code as appropriate for my station then compile and
load into the Arduino.

Wire it up per this article and works great:   (Mine is set to emulate the
Yaesu GS232)

Works great.   ....The next one I build will be to rotate my HF Beam atop
the Yaesu G800.

Thanks,
Mike
