PDF

A very simple antenna tracker with 28BYJ-48 stepper motors for tracking. Considering how weak those motors are, they are not the best option, but they work. The tracker has an adapter to be mounted on a tripod. It is only the main body (no electronics bay). To support both vertical and horizontal axis, 2 608zz bearings (4 in total) are needed.

Edit V3: Changed gear ratio for pitch to 14:50. Added mounting for second pitch endstop. Added some M3 mounting holes to the sides.

Edit V2: Added space for endstops.
