Show HN: EZ-TRAK Satellite Hand Tracking Suite

41 点作者 benbojangles大约 1 个月前
EZ-TRAK is a comprehensive satellite tracking suite designed for amateur radio operators, weather satellite enthusiasts, and educational purposes. The software interfaces with an EZ-TRAK BLE device which is mounted to a lightweight foldable portable satellite dish antenna to hand track satellites in real-time, providing azimuth and elevation data for optimal antenna positioning.

When you say &quot;hand track&quot;, you&#x27;re not kidding.<p>I was expecting something with motors controlled by a person, but this is literally picking up the dish and pointing it by muscle power.<p>Back of envelope, a 1 meter parabolic antenna at 1.7 GHz gives about 12 degree beam width (FWHM), which is what makes this practical. Very clever.

Neat project! I&#x27;ve always wanted to try downlinking data from satellites because it just seems like magic. I wonder what sort of reactions you&#x27;d get from setting this up in a backpack&#x2F;cyberdeck and walking around pointing a satellite dish at the sky.

Really cool project! What kind of foldable dish do you use?

I guess I&#x27;m just too far down the motion-capture rabbit hole, but I first interpreted this phrase as &quot;tracking hands by satellite&quot; rather than &quot;tracking satellites by hand&quot;. I think purely linguistically (without any context that it&#x27;s going to be easier for a hand to track a satellite than a satellite to track a hand) it&#x27;s likely to be interpreted that way, also.

Am I missing something or is this repo devoid of the code mentioned in the README?
