Zach,

I'm finally finishing up the SatNOGS Rotator V2 project that was started...
Now how many years ago did we start that little project? ;)

I built the SatNOGS Rotator Controller V1.2 a couple of months ago.  Now
I got the Arduino Pro Micro programmed and getting the steppers and
AZ/EL home sensors wired up.  Instead of using a WR703N, I'll interface
the Arduino to a Raspberry Pi 3 that will run some tracking software.

73,

Mac Cody / AE5PH
