Has anyone made a portable rotator AZ/EL using a rasberry. I see sat trackers but no mention of antenna control? I would like to pursue something as a learning project and drive my arrow yagi . Jim KI6WJ
The satnogs rotator is a good start for DIY as Don had mentioned. It uses a homebrew tracker that is controlled by hamlib. There is also https://www.portablerotation.com/ for an off-the-shelf solution. I believe this can also be controlled via hamlib (and thus a raspberry pi running GPredict should be able to control it).
