-DIY Antenna Tracker and OSD using STM32F4 .
-Ground side tracker.
-   Uses a Pololu style servo motor with encoder to give continuous Azimuth rotation
-   Uses a standard RC Servo for elevation.
-Airborne side
-   uses an OSD with telemetry via the video to send telemetry data to the tracker.
-   or an Arduino ( basic option if you have a FrSky Telemetry RC system)
-see my website http://www.zoomworks.org/fpv/quantracker/doc/index.html for more info about the project.
-See the Changelog file in this directory for changes after 16/07/2013
-Acknowledgments
-      With Grateful Acknowledgements to the prior work, on the OSD code of:
-        Sami Korbonen(Openpilot.org)
-        taulabs ( taulabs.com)
-        brainFPV ( brainfpv.com)

-        Thanks to VEX Robotics for permission to use their step file of the VEX turntable
-        Special Thanks to Andrew Fernie for his work on the Hardware and Software.
-Dependencies
-   The GNU gcc compiler. The source code is written in C++11, and requires gcc4.7 or higher
-   to compile.
-   available from
-         https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
-         (wget https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/4.9/4.9-2014-q4-major/+download/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2014q4-20141203-linux.tar.bz2 -O gcc-arm)
-   The STM32F4 standard peripherals library
-   available from
-         http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/st_prod_software_internet/resource/technical/software/firmware/stm32f4_dsp_stdperiph_lib.zip

-   My quan library
-   available from
-         https://github.com/kwikius/quan-trunk
-         (wget https://github.com/kwikius/quantracker/archive/master.zip -O quantracker.zip)
-   FreeRTOS
-   available from
-         http://www.freertos.org/a00104.html
-         (wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/freertos/FreeRTOS/V8.2.0/FreeRTOSV8.2.0.zip -O freertos.zip)
-   MAVlink
-   available from
-        https://github.com/mavlink/mavlink
-        (wget https://github.com/mavlink/c_library/archive/master.zip -O mavlink.zip)
-         TODO May need some file dir renaming to get the directories right for compiling
-Once these are installed you will need to modify the paths in the Makefiles to suit your configuration.
-See the file Sample-Dependencies.mk in the root directory for details of how to fill in dependencies
-The ground tracker relies on some means on the aircraft to get the telemetry back to the tracker
-The OSD can however be built as stand alone item. There are currenetly 2 customised example OSD,s in the quantracker/examples directory.
-airborne option to send the data to the tracker from the aircraft.
-So far there are several airborne options
-) Use the OSD airborne module which uses the Video link direct to send telemetry.
-     This is currently in development but the design is all open source and in the repo.
-     I hope to have a retail version soon.
-) using an Arduino Pro Mini microcontroller and an FrSky Rx ( simple cheap)
-     a) Use an Frsky Telemetry receiver and an Ardupilot to acquire the GPS data.
-      The source code for this option can be downloaded from
-         https://github.com/kwikius/mavlink_to_frsky
-     b) Use a GPS module attached direct to the Arduino and sending data down the FrSky telemetry link
-      The source code for this option is available at
-         https://github.com/kwikius/quantracker_air
-----
-   There are various other applications associated with the project.
