If you want ultra precise control, you need stepper motors. Or maybe really
expensive servos would work, but the cheap servo's I've used are only
accurate to a couple degrees and can wobble a little.

I'd be interested in doing something similar for
controlling a camera. I
also have an extra house satellite dish that I would love to put to use. I
have experience controlling servos with microcontrollers.

I notice on the etherpad that someone is
interested in a 2 axis control
for a radio dish. I'm interested in that also. In particular I want to
mount a house satellite TV dish sized antenna on a 2 axis mount for radio
astronomy use. It requires smooth and precise, but slow movement.
Who is it that is interested in this project? Can you get in contact with
me?

Howdy folks,
We are two days away from the beginning of the second microcontroller
project hacking night at sudo room. As someone suggested, I created a
facebookpage for the event. Please invite people you think might be
interested! I previously ordered 10 ATMega328p chips and crystals, and
will have them available at cost ($5) for those just starting out who want
a basic controller.
Event Link:
https://www.facebook.com/events/502675869769339/
Also, there is an etherpad to jot down projects you intend to work on in
case anyone out there is interested in collaborating:
https://pad.riseup.net/p/microbotics
This will be an ongoing document, and is intended to provide a
subsystem-level view of project elements in order to encourage people to
join together to work on individual elements or principles where interests
overlap in a way that permits a limited scope of collaboration, without
having to commit to recurring work on an entire project.
We had some interesting projects last time and I expect even more this
time, hopefully with a few people from the last event returning to show
what they've done with their projects since then. Personally I will try to
go back and forth between 50% working on 2-3 projects, 30% getting newbies
started on their controller builds, and 20% snacking/shooting the shit.
Looking forward to seeing y'all!
Cheers,
Hol
