APRS-Tracker - Software

Here you find everything related to the tracker's software. I set up the project with AVR-Studio in connection with WinAVR..These programs can be downlaoded free of charge. Pleses keep in mind that you need a programer to burn the firmware into the microcontroller. If you want to do this directly fromout AVR-Studio you need a programer that is compartible. Otherwise you can use a simple printer port cable (if your PC still has one) and use the freeware PonyProg.

To Do-List

• GUI for a confortable creation of the HEX-File to burn into the EEPROM
  I'm at the moment working on it. But Visual C++ is costing me some nerves....
  
• Compressed format of the data transmission
  Currently data is send uncompressed. This was the easiest way. If I will have some free time and motivation, I'll try implementing also the dompressed format. But to do so, I have to do arithmetic operations like logarithm on a 8 Bit AVR. This is not fun :)

Sorry, I'm too lasy to translate them. Don't worry, they are not so important. If you want to download older versions, take a look on the German page.
