I am completly new and of course need guidance.I wish to build a directional antenna that ties into a gyro. I would like it to keep an antenna in a fixed direction using the input from my gyro. This would be for a ground based internet uplink from a ship using a Hughesnet dish. The dish already works manually. I am purchasing a stepper (or servo) driven gearbox for the rotation. I believe i would need a driver. Like the ones gekodrive makes for CNC machines. and a computer with software to control it.What i need help with is, What software? Should I or Can I use an Arduino? How do I go about this?
