HomeBrew of the DC motor Control Amateur Radio Satellite feedback position with AS5040 Magnetic Rotary Encoder. Using Magnet above of the IC no contact to the shaft at all. to complete control by Orbitron Software with auto tracking and using DDE give the output to ROTOR CONTOLLER using PIC 16F84 and A/D – Kit from Dinesh (FoxDelta) and The Rotor was build from DC motor compatible as Yaesu Rotor and be able to use G-5600 Rotor controller. see detail Document here www.siamsq.net and also from my blog blog.siamsq.net Thank you for watching. 73 – K6XOX

What kind of motors are you using and gears?
Thanks
I used 24 VDC 10 RPM Reversible Merkle-Korff Gear Motor , can find on EBAY for $19.99 this is only my version 1 and I already made the Version 2 much better than this , i will post video soon,

Ok cool. I am working with another guy on a similar system. I found a controller using basic 2 stamp chip that was designed for the yaesu rotors but i modified it a little. Id like to get involved and maybe share notes. Ive figured out how to overcome the position issue so that the rotors can talk back to software such as nova.
Keep me updated on ur progress. This is a pretty interesting system.
