When Zane (ZS5ZT) contacted me and offered me a heavy duty pan/title mechanism I jumped at the offer. Turns out it is a nice little gadget and Iām surprised that not more people have turned these into portable trackers. I have created a page documenting my build and experiments with it. The first information is up detailing the hardware and software to get it going. I will be updating the page regularly as the project progresses, but there is enough to get it all up and running. This video shows the basic control of the system:
You can get all the information on the Portable Satellite Tracker Project page. If you need more information or if I should go into detail a bit more on any aspect then feel free to contact me.
