Then convert alt-az to slew commands.</p>

In the course of experimenting, I breadboarded a device that sent a canned morse message, but my major project was for astronomy: it told me the altitude and azimuth to point a camera to take astrophotography of a given object. That used the Pico and a GPS receiver, an LCD display and a little glue logic. I wrote it up for the BARS newsletter a couple of years ago.</p>
