LEO Satellite Rotator (elevation / azimuth)

LEO Satellite Rotator (elevation / azimuth)

thingiverse

A 3D printed azimuth / elevation antenna rotator for tracking LEO satellites. The poles used in this version are 32mm plastic waste pipe (I started with 40mm pipe but switched mad way, hence the slotted bearing inner spacers). The bearings I used were 40mm inside diameter / 68mm outside diameter (NTN SNR 6008-ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing). I made this for use in my loft, so I don't recommend using this outside. Mine is controlled by an ESP32 and cheap stepper drivers. GPredict connects directly to the ESP32 over wifi. If you need access to the firmware please let me know. The programming isn't up to much, but it works :) Pretty sure I used the cogs from SatNogs (worm gear and the cog that goes round the poles). More details to follow, please get in touch if you have any questions :)
