Re: [amsat-bb] Adapting convention rotors for Fodtrack?

["Greg D." <ko6th_greg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rich,

I built a Stamp-II based controller for the contact closure-type
rotors, that is driven from the FODTrack software (i.e. it doesn't
use the FODTrack hardware interface, just the software).  I'm in the
process of writing it up, but if you're interested, I can send you an
early summary.

You can see a picture of the result at:
