Hi,here is my antenna tracker. A simple BCAC (brain controlled analogic cut :D) wood case. Simply, cheap, working.In the video a first test with an EZ* flying autonomous, this way I can record the AT working.Richttp://www.vimeo.com/8054260
very nice design, I make laser cut parts for FPV planes and I didnt know that the ardustation can control an antenna tracker, I will be ordering an ardu station and start making my own design, very nice.
If you want to support a fair amount of weight on the pan axis I recommend that you use the Lynxmotion Turntable along with the GWS sail winch servo.
It takes a little modification of the servo mount and turntable. The GWS servo is slightly longer than the standard HS servo and its mounting holes need to be lenghten to be able to center the servo in the turntable base. Also, the turntable has 24 splines for a HS servo and the GWS servo is 25. I ground off the HS splines and replaced them with a horn that has 25 splines to fit the GWS servo.
The Lynxmotion turntable will support up to 10 pounds. I plan to use a HS 645MG for the tilt axis, a pair of DPCAV 5.8 GHz receivers and patch antennas along with an Oracle diversity controller for my flight camera.

thank you very much. Please let me know about your work !
Ric
this time I mounted a videocam instead aerial.
Ardustation is driven by an UAVDevBoard plane.
Best regards,
Ric

Rana, thank you too! The code is the official release v1.3, tuned for my servos, of coarse.
You have written very less in blog, put more words.

Congrats.
