# ISS Globe!!
From Science Hack Day San Fransisco 2011.
## What it is
A small group of science hackes put together enought hardware and software to
track the International Space Station on a real, physical globe.
## Science Hack Day
A small group of us started at science hack day SF with just the idea of somehow
drawing the real time position of the space station on a physical representation
of the Earth.
We had 24 hours to come up with a plan and build everthing. We figured out how
to get two off the shelf servos to position a laser pointer inside an old
translucent plastic globe.
# This Repository
This has the arduino project (Firmware/ISS_Globe) that acts as a motor
controller and the python code (Client) to track the ISS and send data to the
microcontroller that drives the servos.
