2011-11-13 Thread Stefano Simonetti
Hello, I don't know if it could help, anyway, I had problems until I directy 
programmed the pic in circuit, following the instructions on the web site.
(I used a prototype board, not the official PCB).

Oggetto: [amsat-bb] LVB tracker

Hello, 

I'm having problems with my LVB tracker project. After successful programing on 
the pic (16F876A), I'm not getting any response via Hyperterminal and there is 
no text on the LCD display. I have HDR1 jumper in run and HDR2 in off . 

Can some one help me troubleshoot or provide any tips ? 

Thank you, 
Yanko NX9G

Who writes this stuff? There's 700,000 licensed Amateur Radio Operators in
the United States alone!

*There are an estimated 300,000 licensed radio amateurs in the world, and
the
American Radio Relay League hopes a large number of these hobbyists will
participate in the forthcoming experiments.*

Perhaps you missed the introduction that this is the 50th anniversary of the
first amateur satellite launch newsletter?

Dateline: Project OSCAR Newsletter November 15, 1961 at 1345 PST

Project OSCAR is providing reproductions of the satellite news from 50 years
ago when OSCAR 1 was announced on November 15 and launched on December 12,
1961.

Jim,

 Who writes this stuff? There's 700,000 licensed Amateur Radio Operators in
 the United States alone!

 *There are an estimated 300,000 licensed radio amateurs in the world, and
 the
 American Radio Relay League hopes a large number of these hobbyists will

Above that article is an explanation that this was one of the news
releases that the Project OSCAR group made on November 15,
1961.  We are closing in on the 50th anniversary of the OSCAR I
launch, and there will be bulletins and articles from that time posted
in the weekly ANS bulletins as well as in the AMSAT Journal as part
of the 50th anniversary commemoration.

73!

And mission saved because EECOM controller remembered a test that had the same 
garbled pattern on his screen. He told the crew (through the Capcom) to Try 
SCE to Aux. The NY other person who knew what he meant was LMP Alan Bean. 
Fortunately the switch was by his head. He flipped it and telemetry was 
restored. 

Among flight controllers the term SCE to Aux is considered legendary.

Btw, SCE stands go Signal Conditioning Equipment. The SCE converts raw signals 
from instrumentation to standard voltages for the spacecraft instrument 
displays and telemetry encoders.
