What motors and sensors do you have? Either the hardware supports the software or vice versa.
K3NG's rotator code, a Mega2560, positioning sensors and either PST rotator OR satpc32 will work to drive the arduino (to control motors and sensors).
HRD's satellite tracking never worked for me. YMMV.
Prefer the GS-232B protocol as it seems to the best (most widely) supported.
Have built several. Mostly testing various mechanical parts. Current portable tripod for stateside is a resurrected G-5400 (for motors and sensors.) The K3NG code/arduino combination will handily replace the LVB tracker for about $30.
This is a very deep hole to explore. Still learning every day.

Hi, Just a quick question on Arduino and Satellite tracking. Was looking for an easy setup to demonstrate Amateur Satellite tracking using HRD (EasycommII for driving the rotator) ) via an Arduino Board for our HAM Club I came across an interesting program written by K9VUG (https://sites.google.com/site/k6vugdiary/home/satellite-tracking-system) and demonstrated on YouTube https://youtu.be/00SW1ExS2es. Unable to contact the author or other kind of feedback from the net I was wondering if any of you out there ever tried this setup. Any advice would be welcomed. 73 Albert PD0OXW
