Titel: DiSEqC-Rotor for moonbounce
Bericht door: Ralf DF6VW op Maart 26, 2016, 07:52:12
Hello friends,
i just finished the first version of my DiSEqC Rotor for moon tracking.
These rotors are cheap (35€) and newer versions has a gotox function.
Using polar mount without correcting the declination will only works with smaller
antennas. The declination can change +/- 1° within 12 hour period (not checked
under all circumstances). The declination is changed for every day by hand.
The first version use a pc programm for calculating the
position. An arduino board  generates the DiSEqC-protocoll for the rotor. No modification
on the rotor is needed. The DiSEqC-interface consist only of one Transistor and two resistors.
Greetings
