Greetings all. I searched the amsat BB archive but found no answer so
posting this. For no apparent reason, my FD st2 connected to my G5400 has
just started misbehaving after working great for months. Using W10. It is
displaying incorrect AZ, while EL is correct. It parks the G5400 at 225
deg instead of default 300. It will show EL in excess of 500+ deg when
manually turning the G5400 clockwise. I have the most current driver for my
usb-serial cable. Im thinking I need to reset the EPROM but an find no
directions on the FD website or internet on how to do this after initial
setup. I will email Dinesh at FD if no answers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you and 73 from OC DM13

Hi Craig,
Do the readings on your yaesu control box AZ meter read correctly or are
they also wacky?
Looking at the circuit diagram, the AZ pot and the output to the plug that
runs to the ST-2 goes through different circuitry to the plug than to the
meter in the control box.
If the control box meter reads correctly, then the problem is probably in
the circuitry that connects to the external plug that goes to the ST-2.
Measure your 5v bus on the interface is actually running at 5v. I had
problem with my voltage regulator (I soldered it in backwards) and did not
have 5v where it needed to be.
Thanks,
Charles Reiche

Thank you for the prompt replies. As I suspected, re-programming the eprom
did the trick. But how to re-program? The critical directions were actually
on the FD website for another product. After some research I figured out how
to install ?hyper terminal? to be able to communicate directly with the ST2.
Apparently this was a utility last included with Windows XP. Several hours
later, I had things talking to one another, followed the calibration
instructions under the ST2 page, flashed the eprom, and now it?s working as
it should on several passes.
Wowsers, that was annoying but very educational.
Thanks again.

For Bruce KK5DO, and others who expressed interest in re-programming their
Fox Delta ST2 tracker running a G5400/5500:
This first link is for configuring HyperTerminal emulator to talk to the ST2
once HT is downloaded from any number of websites (I didn?t know an emulator
from an escalator when I started to troubleshoot my issue this morning).
Apparently if you still have an XP machine it can be found under Windows
?Accessories, Communications?. I only have W10 now so had to start from
scratch.
http://www.foxdelta.com/products/minitnc/hyperterminal.pdf
This link is to the actual programming procedure and basic commands once you
have Hyper Terminal up and running and connected to the ST2
http://www.foxdelta.com/products/ST2-0417/st2-setup-guide.pdf
Like the author in the second link said, ?it just worked??

I have a few suggestions that might help you get started, but it would be
helpful to have a little more info about yourself. What kind of station do
you have or plan to use? HT? Base station? Do you have a rotor already?
As for the minimum level needed to get into satellites, it does not take
much at all. I have made successful contacts over multiple FM birds using
just my 5W handheld Yaesu radio with a $15 quarter-wave whip
antenna attached and no other hardware. All that was needed was the
knowledge of when to go out and what uplink/downlink frequencies to tune my
radio to.

It seems like my earlier email attempt might have been blocked due to an
inline image it included.
I've been toying with the idea of implementing an Android App to view and
submit updates to the AMSAT Status page. I've put together a quick mock-up
of what the interface will be for submitting updates will be like. I wanted
to get some preliminary feedback and also get in touch with anyone at AMSAT
to make sure I'm working with the correct acceptable-use policy and API.
Here's a screen shot of the App so far:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d24egqeuiu17ds1/Screenshot_20200816-153642.png?dl=0
If you want to check out the mock interface, it doesn't actually submit
anything yet, but all the fields are present.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Ballot return date is September 15

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
All,
Please indulge an election procedure post--with four weeks of balloting
remaining, I think a reminder of procedures is warranted.
Ballots for the AMSAT board of directors election must be received by 5 p.m.
US Eastern Time on Tuesday, September 15.?If you have received your ballot
and wish to vote, please mail your ballot with sufficient time to arrive by
this time.
If you have not received your ballot and were a member of AMSAT on July 1,
please email me at brennanprice@???????.??? to request a replacement ballot.
All such requests that were made by today (Monday, August 17) have been
fulfilled no later than today.
A note to non-US based members: The printed return envelope does not specify
that the return address is in the United States. The design of the envelope
(my effort alone) may be fairly criticized on this basis. Several non-US
members have added USA to the printed return address and successfully
returned the ballot. This is my recommended remedy, but if for whatever
reason it's too late for that (and I know of one such case), I will gladly
send a replacement (as I have in said case).
I am verifying envelopes against the voter list and keeping them unopened
until the time of counting, when they will be opened face down and separated
from the ballot without immediate counting to maintain secrecy. This is a
key part of verifying that each ballot going out generates no more than one
ballot coming back in. Presumably out of an understandable but
self-defeating desire to ensure the secrecy of the ballot beyond this
procedure, about ten members have sought to obscure the return address or
use a different envelope, either with no return address or a different
return address.?
In all but one of those cases, the printed address was insufficiently
obscured, or the alternate address was traceable to a member who had not yet
voted. The attention required to verify the nonconforming envelope in each
case substantially exceeded the attention normally necessary, and actually
increased the possibility of me inadvertently discerning the contents
without opening the envelope through inspection I would ordinarily forego.
Nevertheless, these envelopes have been accepted for eventual accounting.
In the remaining case, postmarked last week in Grand Junction, Colorado,
there is no indication on the outside the envelope to permit me to conclude
that the ballot is not cumulative of one already returned. As it stands,
this is the only envelope out of the several hundred returned thus far that
I cannot accept.
If you are that voter mailing from or near Grand Junction, please be in
touch so we can remedy. All others, please use the provided return envelope.
I welcome questions.
73,
Brennan Price, N4QX

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.
