Ray it already works! I just want to do some programming that allows the
autopilot to control events for staging and recovery a little better
that's all that really needs to be done. I also want to customize the
ground control station to be a little more useful for our purpose.
There is already a tracking interface and a little work done there to
interface the much better software for that by OpticTracker. These guy's
will help me with the new RSSI tracking feature.
