Tysonpower details a DIY AZ/EL antenna rotator project designed for under €150, inspired by the Satnogs Tracker. Constructed with 2020 aluminum extrusion and NEMA23 stepper motors, the rotator is controlled via an Arduino Nano. It effectively tracks smaller antennas like Yagi, though struggles with heavier dishes. STL files are available on Thingiverse.

The PCB can produce a High Frequency RF signal in the range of 1MHz to 12.5MHz using an AD9833 Direct Digital Sequence (DDS) frequency synthesizer. The signal can be modulated with different Weak Signal modes such as WSPR, JT9 and JT65 using our Arduino 5V/16MHz Pro Micro software.

This blog post documents the author's journey building an APRS micromodem for amateur radio applications. Using an open-source design by LY2EN, the author assembled a cost-effective Terminal Node Controller (TNC) with SMD components, an Arduino Nano, and a JDY-31 Bluetooth module. The construction process included PCB fabrication, careful component soldering, microcontroller programming, and Bluetooth configuration. A custom 3D-printed case protected the completed device. Field testing in Romania showed the device functioned with a Baofeng UV-5R radio, though antenna limitations affected performance. The entire project demonstrates an affordable DIY alternative to commercial APRS trackers.

This article describes the implementation and testing of a low-power GPS tracker using LoRa technology in the 433MHz amateur band. The system, built with AIThinker RA-02 modules and Arduino controllers, demonstrated successful communication over non-line-of-sight distances up to 5km. Operating with a 125kHz bandwidth and spreading factor of 11, the tracker achieves a data rate of 500 bits/sec. Powered by a LiPo cell with power-saving features, the final compact design operates for approximately 1.5 weeks between charges with 3-minute reporting intervals, consuming just over 1mA in idle mode.
