This may be OLD stuff to many of you experienced ops., but new to me. I was wondering if there had been any individual DIY projects in the past for building an AZ/EL or Pan/Tilt using robotics? Of course, for our purposes weight and wind load would be a factor. I am not interested in "toy size", as many of the Arduino projects are.

If anyone knows of a site or PDF, please send it to me; either here or to my personal email:

I once used a reduction gear box set from the local electronics store

The drive went to a threaded rod

It was a tim system - very rough
