Finished designing the PCB/Schematic for my Antenna Rotator Controller
For the schematic, I mostly relied on the example provided by Hack Club, but added an LED to signal if the board is receiving power correctly. The PCB consists of the MCU, an OLED screen (which I plan to program to display the azimuth/elevation actively as the dish is mounted to the rotator), a rotary encoder (that I plan to program to manually adjust the increment of the steps of the stepper motors controlling the mount), and finally the 4 buttons (2 of which control the azimuth and 2 of which control the elevation).
That’s it for this devlog. I’m keeping it short since this is a proof of concept for me. I’m currently working on the case for the controller using Onshape and will upload a devlog as soon as that is completed.
