+/* Tracking Antenna for UCSD AUVSI Team DANIEL BEDENKO d.bedenko@gmail.com
+ * This is the final project class ECE118 .. This will work with any autopilot 
+ * software as long as the Serial Input communication must be in the following format
+ * 1 Byte  0xFF        [Start  Byte] 
+ * 4 bytes Plane Lat   [32 bit float little endian]
+ * 4 bytes Plane Lon
+ * 4 bytes Plane Alt
+ * 4 bytes Ground Lat  [32 bit float little endian]
+ * 4 bytes Ground Lon
+ * 4 bytes Gorund Alt
+ * 1 byte 0xFE         [End Byte]
+ * Also one would have to recalibrate the servos to their system this particular system
+ * uses one 360 Servo from ServoCity for Azimuth tracking and one 180 Standard Servo for 
+ * elevation Tracking. Theoretically this will work for a moble ground station
+ * Use at own risk.
