Putting together a USB 16F877 rotator control A/D serial and LOGIC
Got a few options
Predict as the AZ/EL engine and perl scripts.
1. Completely autonomous - quite hard to do in a PIC 2. Use the A/D and just send data back to LINUX and get LINUX to turn relays on / off via parra port 3. Send AZ and EL to the PIC, do a ASCII to BIN and then get the PIC to drive the rotators. 4. Use the A/D and send data to LINUX and then send back a serial command on what to do.
Cheers
