Hey all
Today i received a couple serial servo controller boards from sparkfun and as a proof of concept i made a small java program that takes the aircraft position from the IVY bus and drives the servo controller board to make an extremely simple antenna tracker. If i had any knowledge of java it probably would have taken about an hour to do but i just hacked together a couple sample codes for IVY and serial port implimentation in java, so it took a good part of today to get it to work.
here is a video of the proof of concept tracker in action
