Program that is responsible for requesting data from the ephemeris server and communicating with ControllerDish.
This is the main program that is responsible for requesting data from the ephemeris server and communicating with ControllerDish.
New functionality, Computes the offset for the maximum SN signal.
Communications are RS-485 at 500000 bauds.
The ESP32 port is used for debug also at 500000 bauds.
It can handle CAT radios, you need to have OMNIRIG v2.1 installed.
If you have SpectraVue v3.41 installed, the program can get the RMS value of the signal in continuous mode, and with this data we can get a heatmap or radiomap. The HeatMap software will be posted in another directory.

This is an antenna tracking system (software and hardware) designed for amateur use in Earth–Moon–Earth communication (EME), radioastronomy, amateur Deep Sky Network (DSN) and other Space Communication applications where accurate and high precision tracking are required.
