This project utilizes a NEMA 17 stepper motor, a TB6600 motor driver, and a Raspberry Pi to create an antenna tracking system. To set up the system, follow the instructions below:
- Connect the NEMA 17 stepper motor and TB6600 motor driver to your Raspberry Pi. Refer to the provided pin configuration in the code.
- Ensure that you have the Software In The Loop installed on your system. This library is essential for testing the code.
To facilitate communication with the system, we've included a sample Python script called send_mavlink.py
. This script demonstrates the communication process. Make sure to adapt it to your specific use case if necessary.
The heart of this project is the Antennatracking.py
script, which controls the antenna tracking system. This is the main code that you'll need to run to operate the system.
Feel free to modify and improve the code to suit your needs, and have fun exploring the capabilities of this antenna tracking system!
