Radio Astronomy Telescope (R.A.T.)

//////////
UNFINISHED & NO REAL CALCULATIONS

/////////

This was and old project that i abandoned, (no more $$  ) might return later.

• This is a cheap way to bring radio astronomy to the masses! or just a way to listen to the air waves   (The idea of this project was to bring radio astronomy too the masses, thus the focus on affordability) 

THIS IS UNFINISHED (WIP)

• No Code Provided

  • Project Contains, 2x Nema 17 steppers

  • 1x Raspberry Pi 3 b

  • common limit switch

  • ~20" Dish Antenna 

  • i bunch of COT's that i dont remember, you can just measure the diameter, should be metric

• This might hurt your computer when fully assembled (sorry for my random part names)

• Will need a counter weight, b/c of the high torque created by the dish's weight. mb

 I know there are a lot of weird techniques used, they where mostly made to be cost effective. This model was designed to be printed on a Ender 3 bed (220 x 220 x 250 mm). The purpose of this creation was to allow for tracking satellites and or radio astronomy, if you wish to continue progress on this project, reach out! I still have a archive of information, and could add you to the old discord!

Dis:

***** Will not upload the rest of the files, as they are not in a condition that i would deem useful to anyone other than to use as a baseline for creating your own. If you still wish to view them, comment "idc". *******
