Satellite Tracker Plugin for SDRSharp

This plugin currently allows Orbitron to control the SDRSharp tuning via the 'MyDDE' DDE interface.


Prerequisites:

Functional copy of Orbitron
Orbitron's MyDDE 'driver' files copied to Orbitron installation directory - http://www.stoff.pl/orbitron/files/mydde.zip
Install MyDDE files somewhere (basically just tricks orbitron)
SDRSharp version 7xx or later


Installation:

Copy the contents of this zip file same directory as SDRSharp.exe

Add the following line to the <sharpPlugins> section:

    <add key="SatelliteTracker" value="SDRSharp.SatelliteTracker.SatelliteTrackerPlugin,SDRSharp.SatelliteTracker" />


Configuration:

Add the following two lines to the bottom of the Config\Setup.cfg file in the Orbitron installation directory:

[Drivers]
SDRSharp=SDRSharp.exe

Start Orbitron.
Click 'Rotor/Radio' tab and select 'SDRSharp' for the driver.  It will complain that it cannot find the file and open a dialog box.  Locate the version of SDRSharp.exe that shares the directory with the plugin files you've just installed.  Click OK.  Click the little two windows icon to the right of this dropdown box, this will start SDRSharp.

Select the front end and click Play in SDRSharp.  Scroll down and expand the Satellite Tracker (Plugin) section.  Click Enable, Select Orbitron from the tracking software, and click connect.  Within a few seconds you should start receiving updates from Orbitron.  If not, try selecting a satellite in Orbitron.
