In the stepper model, we send the payload GPS location to the arduino. It reads it's own location from the GPS shield and sends it back to the computer. There is currently no way to send the arduino location to the arduino.
To implement this, we would probably want to reformat how we send data to the arduino. I suggest using a command character or string, like prefixing tracker NMEA strings with a 'T' for Tracker, and payload NMEA strings with a 'P' for Payload. Or something.
This would also allow us to send it manual pointing strings, like 'M' followed by azimuth and elevation angles. Because right now, we can't manually point the steppers.
