SatNOGS Rotators

Our tracking mechanism is designed from scratch, parametric by default, 3D printed in under 8 hours. Utilizing two NEMA14 stepper motors we have unconstrained movement in Altitude and Azimuth.

Electronics

Our driving electronics are made of two Stepper motor drivers and an Arduino controlling them. Simple yet accurate.
