Orbitron 3.71is a satellite tracking system for radio amateur and observing purposes.

The program can be also used by weather professionals, satellite communication users, astronomers, UFO hobbyist and astrologers.

At the moment it outputs a string which is sent down a serial port. So if the motor controller takes serial it would be an easy code change but if the controller needs something else you may have to bodge together an intermediary unit. Feel free to post some more details, happy to take a look.

I am running orbitron to steer my sdr.

To control my rotor as well i installed your package an updated the setup.cfg width the suggested line.

But after restarting the Orbitron program your driver/program doesnt show up in the dropdown list.

So are I am doing something wrong, using WIN10

I think if you make your changes and run Orbitron as administrator just the once it should be able to read in the changes and then write them out again when it exits. This should be enough for the changes to persist and be read in the first time.

The serial output from the PC needs to go to something that can parse the data and drive the motors. The motors are not connected directly to the PC. My recommendation for an easy start would be to use an arduino and a motor driver module.

Dear Alex,

First of all, thank you so much for helping.

It was my mistake, now it is working perfectly and sending command as A30, E-12.

But my rotor controller accept first Azimuth and then elevation command. like A300 should go on serial first and then E30 should go on serial.

and second thing is my rotor controller accept only positive angles, so most of time elevation angles are in negative, can you do some processing on it to make angle positive so that it would be accepted by rotor controller.

Thank you so much for your help. hoping to listen from you soon. And how can I contact you, to learn more?

Negative elevation is ok.

Just split Azimuth and Elevation commands. First Azimuth command should go to the controller and then after few milli seconds delay, elevation command should go. Like

A300

delay of 1ms

E30

Hi,

Assuming you have serial communication to your arduino you can use the serial commands to get the string sent from the dde azimuth orbitron plugin.

When running my DDEObritronToSerial plugin you can give it a format string which it will use to format what it sends down the serial port to your, for example, arduino. In there just specify it to send [AZ] and in your arduino code it would be as simple as:

First of all a big Thank you for your efforts in bringing out such a nice piece of DDE software.

It works fine and the newest addition of custom output setting is just what was required. I did try the 2016 version earlier which was working fine.

Thanks for the comment.

This plugin for orbitron just sends the satellite data down a serial port. It is generally left to the receiving device to process it as the user wishes.

For example, I would have a micro-controller receive the az and el data and drive a motor controller.

hello alex,

I have successfully installed the DDEOrbitron to Serial to Orbitron plugin and exited the data from Orbitron sent from Loging. I plan to connect the output data from this orbitron to Arduino UnoR3 with L298N motor driver to drive Elevation and Azimuth motors. Have you ever tried programming this DDEOrbitron output on Arduino Uno R3?

Hi Alex. how are you? I have a problem with win10. I follow the procedure but it does not appear in the drop-down window to choose the DDE.

I did it on a machine that I have with XP and it worked. but in win 10 it does not appear.

I have Oroitron 3.71 and DDE 2018.

What should I do? can you help me?

greetings from Argentina.

I have heard of this from others but have not been able to reproduce the problem myself. I have just installed Orbitron and DDEOrbitronToSerial to a fresh Windows 10 machine and it worked well for me.

It works now. First started vspe and connected vspe com 4 to arduino com 2 with splitter. Then run putty on com 4. Then run orbitron ddetoserial on com 4. I can send and read commands in putty.

Thanks steve

Hello Alex.

Congrats for an awesome post and a great blog all in all.

I am working on an Ardino antenna rotator as well, and this plugin helps a lot. To bad Orbitron can only launch a single driver at a time. It would have been great to tune my RTL-SRD as well. I will try to manually launch DDE Tracker for SDR# .

Is there any way I can subscribe to your post?

Best wishes from Romania,

Hi Alex

I successfully installed your DDE Orbitron to Serial plugin and it worked.

My challenge is to get the strings from orbitron and then able to change those strings into numbers that i will put on PID. The serial data i am getting is mixed with alphabet. If there is a video that explain how to do that please share i am really struggling.

Thanks

outstanding thread and information.

I also have the DDE dialog open and then close after about 4 seconds. I am running windows 10 on a laptop. I do have to run Orbitron in Admin mode in order for the DDE to serial option to show up in the drop down box. I saw a post above where someone said they moved the DDE to the root of C:\, so I will try that when I get home. This only started happening after I modified the config file. its strange.

Hi Alex,

first of all, excellent program you wrote there. i test it for my project(not finish yet). work prefectly. anyway, can i have a feature, can your code detect (send to MCU) when satellite start rising (AOS)?

Ahh, too bad, but i understand that. Anyway orbitron will send data automatically when satellite is first rising at AOS. And the beautifull thing was data can be send through mcu via bluetooth spl. Awesome. 152ee80cbc
