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 Ralf DF6VW |
