I am a researcher who has been tasked with building an antenna tracker one of my professors, the problem is i have little knowledge on this topic. Starting from basics, how should i tackle this problem, whats an optimum MCU and sensors and the such. is there somewhere where i can find coding or programming in simple terms that i can can then alter? any help would be much appreciated.

You can look at my DIY Antenna Tracker
Source code is on GitHub https://github.com/kwikius/quantracker
The Prototypes V1 and V2 Use the STM32F4 Discovery board
V3 will use the same processor but on a custom pcb
Its been up and running for a good while now and works well.
I'm currently working on an OSD for it so you can send telemetry down the video signal ( and get all the benefits of an OSD :)) . Currently you either use an audio channel of the video signal (with a software modem) or an FrSky Telemetry RC transmitter and receiver.
