This repository contains all the files and documentation for Star Track, Arduino powered GoTo-mount inspired star tracking system. [Visit the DIY guide](https://gorkem.cc/projects/StarTrack/) for details.
File structure:
+ `Firmware` contains the python code and necessary drivers.
+ `CAD` contains print ready .stl files
## More info:
There are two Arduino's working in order. Arduino Uno being master and nano being the puppet.
Master module
### Master module
The master(Uno) module has two inputs,
1-Gyro data
- Gyro data
2-RTC(Real Time Clock) data
- RTC(Real Time Clock) data
and 6 outputs,
1-cw(base motor clockwise)
- cw(base motor clockwise)
2-ccw(base motor counter clockwise)
- ccw(base motor counter clockwise)
3-stahp(base motor stop)
- stahp(base motor stop)
4-cw2(DEC motor clockwise)
- cw2(DEC motor clockwise)
5-ccw2(DEC motor counter clockwise)
- ccw2(DEC motor counter clockwise)
6-stahp2(DEC motor stop)
- stahp2(DEC motor stop)
The RTC is set to UTC time, a function calculates local sidereal time in degrees and rotates the mount to 0h RA position. The loop constantly checks if the gyro data is equal to the user input & sidereal time data. The default is 0,0. If there is a change and the equality breaks the master module send a command to the puppet module.
