Satellite tracking for the mbed platform(s). Note: This software is beerware.
Satellite Tracking with mbed!
This is a quick example of tracking satellites with the mbed platform. Ensure you have the latest TLE information and map it correctly. I have commented in the original TLEs used for the example to help you do this.
This code is not restricted to geostationary/geosynchronous satellites, you can track any satellite for which you can get a TLE. (Which is almost all non military satellites).
See http://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-line_element_set
If you use this code, please send me a beer (see main.cpp header). Enjoy!
