Task Progression/Updates
Author: Arjun Mandair Date:
First Design Without Height Adjustment Mechanism Integration
Height adjustment mechanism incomplete
Currently compatible with Tripod
Cutouts on L-Brackets are for screw clearance

May need to Redesign
Depending on if we need two antenna trackers, we may need a new yaw servo mount, since we only have one discontinued servo with a compatible gearbox
Author: Arjun Mandair Date:
Countersunk or counterbore holes
Currently, the yaw-axis servo is experiencing stabilization issues, since the bolts are too far out from the servo. This was placed initially due to interference from the tripod. For the next iteration, we will utilize counterbore/countersink holes, and a bigger baseplate, to bring the bolts closer.
Essentially, bring the current holes in, thicken the aluminum plate if needed, add the counterbore holes, and good to go!
