Hi Every one,
I have some thing in mind.
Tuning Satellite dishes out of the UK is very difficult, especially when the Geostationary Satellite is moving constantly and in random.
Would it be possible to have Raspberry Pi programmed in such a way that it commands to step motors (one side ways the other up and down) in order to adjust the Satellite dish automatically to align itself to the Satellite?
The servo/step motors can be programmed but the tricky bit is the Satellite itself, is there any way to detect its position, and implement it in the Raspberry Pi through GPIO to run the motors?
If all this possible, which I think it would be, that would make many people HAPPY, including yours faithfully.
Cheers
Siamak
