Hi Guys
I am using an antenna tracker for my project. I have a Maestro servo controller interfacing with mission planner just fine. I was wondering if there is a way to changing the orientation of the tracker home. The reason why is because when the antenna tracker is physically facing the drone, mission planner sends pwm signals to make the antenna tracker turn to face the opposite way. It thinks the drone is behind the antenna tracker when the drone is actually in front of it.
The range that i want the pan to be is 180 since ideally the drone will never fly behind the antenna tracker physical . I attached a picture that hopefully clears up what I am trying to say.
The reason I don't extend the range is because when the drone crossed the y axis of the tracker home it just start spinning the other way. I tried a 360 range and a 540 range and it didn't help.
Any Idea?
Thank for your time
