Early Progress on an Arduino/Gameduino Satellite Tracker @brainwagon

This is my first semi-serious Gameduino project. It will display a world map and show the positions of various satellites of interest to radio amateurs in real time. It will use a variant of James Miller's "Plan13" algorithm to do the satellite orbit prediction. Thusfar, I have the clock and the map display working.

$The HOPALONG Orbit Fractal An animation, generated by a custom rendering hack, and encoded using FFMPEG. I kind of wish the image wasnt jumping around so much: unlike many IFS fractals, this orbit fractal generates fairly different distributions depending on pretty much the least significant bits of any of the control parameters. Still, pretty neat.$
