Ham Radio Portable Satellite Tracking System WRAPS- EP5 The Moment of Truth !
The moment of truth ! We fire the system up and successfully track a satellite. I wanted make this video to show some basic setting of the Xbee, SatPC32 and the WRAPS board. WoW that thing is awesome, the live tracking AZ and EL matched exactlly what SatPC and the phone app were showing on the screen. Very impressed with the system, all the parts came together nicely. Everything is very precise and the finished box feels rugged, very tight. This is the fifth of a series of videos to document my WRAPS satellite tracking project built per Mark Spencer's "WRAPS: A Portable Satellite Antenna Rotator System" article published on Jan 2014 QST magazine. http://ww2.amsat.org/xtra/wraps-mark-spencer-wa8sme-qst-jan-2014-copyright-arrl.pdf PCB and and additional information; http://store.amsat.org/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=105 Visit my channel to see the other videos.
