A device using a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino Uno which can point at the position of the sun, moon, planets and galaxies. Users can choose whether they want to visualize the current position, a specific timestamp or a simulation of the trajectory. Parts are self-designed and 3D-printed.
Required parts:
- 1x Raspberry Pi (I used 3B)
- 1x Arduino (I used Uno Rev 3)
- 2x NEMA 17 Steppers
- 1x LCD (+ Keypad)
- 1x Laser 303 (or any other Laser, just modify Laser_Bracket.stl)
- 1x GPS Module
- 1x Slip Ring (I used Adafruit 22mm 12 cables)
- 2x Bearings Outer 16mm Inner 5mm
and some screws, batteries and cables.
