I am currently building the SatTracker688 (recently \nfeatured in the AMSAT Journal) interface by Mark Spencer of the ARRL, and it \nis also fairly easy to build (1 surface-mount IC if you build it for USB \ninstead of RS-232). The FOD-Track will cost about $20 in parts, while the \nUSB version of the SatTracker688 will run closer to $40 (unless you have a \nwell-stocked junk box...)\n\nI had a quantity of FOD-Track boards made, and sold them on \nrec.radio.amateur.space several years ago. I have 1 left, if you are \ninterested. The schematic, parts layout, and instructions are all available \nfrom the AMSAT software page.\n\n73,\n\nGeorge, KA3HSW\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Steve Raas\" <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 8:13 PM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] G5500 / SatPC32 / Rotor control\n\n\n> Hello everyone,\n>\n>\n>\n> In interfacing the radio to the PC with sat pc32 it dawned on me that I \n> need\n> to have rotor control as well.
