Hello

I became interested in this project, but how to use it?

alexf91 commented 7 years ago

I don't really have any documentation on how to build it. The device I built for this was essentially:

From the microphone, I wired PTT to a GPIO input, the other wires are connected directly to the Yaesu FT817. When PTT is pressed, the frequency was set over the CAT interface. The gyro and the compass are mounted on an Arrow 2m/70cm antenna to show the orientation towards the satellite on the display.

Here are some pictures: https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/354864#4001071

As far as I remember, this was my first Python project, so code quality is quite low.

Thanks! Are you using it now?

No, I haven't used it in a while. My satellite activity is currently on hold.
