Any ideas what is causing this and how
Hi Craig,
How is your LVB connected to your Windows system?
I am using the same setup and experience no problems.
My LVB is connected via real RS232 interface.

I've been watching the Amsat store for the LVB tracker for the last month or
two and it hasn't been listed. Any guess on when there will be another
production run?

Some times stray RF can cause a garbled display, I just re-flashed the firmware

Hello,
Recently I start having problems with my lvb tracker and I
was wondering if some one can help me figure out whats going on . The
tracker will turn on and will run for 2 or 3 seconds and will display a
garbled text after. Like in this video http://youtu.be/fgx0zE4RelU or it
will just go
I had a very similar issue with an Acer lt and LVB Tracker. Never solved it but
replaced lt with mini tower and all is well. It seems to be an issue of Win7
or perhaps voltage levels on the USB. Try a tower to prove it is the lt.

I'm having problems with my LVB tracker project. After successful programing on

Can some one help me troubleshoot or provide any tips
Hi All,
I am having problems trying to use the LVB Tracker/G5500 on the Serial
Port. My box will not communicate. Mike Young sent me another box with
the MAX232 chip and I am not able to communicate with it either. I can
control the G5500 via the LVB faceplate.
I am using COM Port 1, 9600,
Got my LVB Tracker from AMSAT last week. Installed it on a G5500.
Calibrated it and it seemed to work fine until yesterday. It seem to now
just randomly reset itself as if it were being power cycled. The LCD
screen posts the startup firmware version message then goes back to
normal. This

EEPROM does not hold calibration after Controller is turned off for a while.
Do I have to go thru the calibration procedure every time it is turned on?
Am I missing something here?

Hi all,
Lately my LVB Tracker (USB) has been stopping in the middle of a pass.
It does not happen all the time, but lately it has been happening more
often.
When this happens I have to turn the G-5500 off/on then restart SatPC32.
Has anyone experienced this with their tracker? I wonder if I

Howard,
Let me assure you. Your LVB tracker Version 1.2 is still doing a fine job. The
very stripped down version I built with only the PIC16F876, MAX232 and 2N3904s
just sits inside a ordinary Radio Shack box (no buttons, no display) and does
its job day in a day out.
Thank you for a fun
Hi,
I probably missed something but on AMSAT website, we are able to buy
the LVB Tracker completely assembled, the bare board without any part or
only the enclosure

Ok, I got the problem with the dialogue box figured out. (I had done a

was a problem with the drivers, when
