FOSSASAT-2 - sketch modified by N6RFM

The sketches for Fossast-1b and 2 appear to have been deprecated in favor of a Qt based control panel. This panel contains a interpreter that processes serial messages sent to and from the ground station. https://github.com/FOSSASystems/FOSSA-GroundStationControlPanel

For those who desire to use the simpler terminal based approach, this repo contains an updated sketch for Fossasat-2. Included are the ability to use newer public commands to interface with the satellite. Commands not enabled are password protected for use by the FS-2 team only. See https://github.com/FOSSASystems/FOSSASAT-2/blob/master/docs/Communication%20Protocol.md for the command list.
