[amsat-bb] Re: Best rotor interface?
Hi Charlie Thanks, I have refrained from suggesting that you can program the tracker through a USB rather than a real hardware RS232 port. The reason is that the programming method I designed sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and at any rate it's a lot slower when it does work. Despite scratching my head over this for some time, I never got to the bottom of it, so rather than saying it might work I preferred to just say use a hardware RS232 port! That way it saves me a lot of grief! 73, Howard G6LVB -Original Message- From: Charlie -K3VDB- [mailto:ceheis...@comcast.net] Sent: 07 February 2010 00:40 To: Howard Long; amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Re: Best rotor interface? Thanks for your input Howard hi hi;...But I did want to mention the LVB Tracker will work through a Keyspan USA-19HS USB to Serial Convertor. Not sure if you can program it that way?
