youtube video(s) of prototype satellite tracker
Greetings!
Here are some youtube videos of a satellite tracking system built around an Arduino. It is still in its early stages.
I am still lurking on the birds; very new to amateur radio and listening.
Looking forward to making contacts as I get dialed in.
Morse Code telemetry from ITUpSAT1:
Voice downlink from SO-50
Unsuccessful FO-29 pass (perhaps the snow on the plexiglass solarium enclosure or the -20F temperature was an issue). Faint unintelligible voice chatter
Bad code on github (with thanks to James Miller G3RUH and VE9QRP).

Just skimmed through your videos. Looks cool.
The FO-29 pass, I could hear some voice, but it wasn't demodulated right. That might be because FO-29 is a linear satellite for SSB/CW, and that radio is FM only. I'm not sure though. Does it do SSB?
