A computerized telescope created using a satellite TV dish and hobbyist electronic components.
This GitHub contains Arduino and Python code for the telescope.
- Satellite Dish (with LNB)
- Arduino Uno
- Raspberry Pi
- Stepper Motors
- Big Easy Driver
- Bias Tee
- Lumped LC High Pass Filter, 910 - 3000 MHz
- LTCC Low Pass Filter, DC - 1200 MHz, 50Ω
- Power Detector
- Low Noise Amplifier, 40 - 2600 MHz, 50Ω
