I presented yesterday at Tampa Hamfest AMSAT forum K3NG's Anthony Good's arduino controller
I've built 6 of these things, they work great:

It's almost as much effort to get the 2 line display hooked up as it is to get the 2 sense lines from the controller and the 4 (up/dn/lt/rt) drive lines. I've never put buttons on one for up down left right because there's already buttons on the g5400
I have built them without display also, just have to use a terminal emulator to connect and query the measured position)
Get the yaesu GS232 manual for the command listing. That's what it's emulating.
Did I say it can be quite inexpensive to use an arduino? Lots of fun and satisfying to build too.
Thanks, Mike W4UOO

Hi folks,
is there anything that does what trakbox does that can substitute it?
I mean something that tracks the satellite moving automatically the rotators and
The radio frequencies?
Thanks
