Description

Is possible to implement 180/180 (pan/tilt) operation as a selectable option for tracker mechanical construction? (Or in what module of MP it can be located?)

Now - its necessary to have 360 deg (-180/+180) rotation in pan and 90 deg (0/90) in tilt.

Optional solution is to have 180 deg (-90/+90) rotation in pan and 180 deg in tilt - 0/90 for first half, same as with 360 deg pan, and 90/180 for "second half" of pan: -180/-90 and 90/180. On this second half pan and tilt have "inverted" sides.

Best,

Marek

Research direction

Start by locating Mission Planner's antenna-tracking implementation and how tracker mechanical limits are represented. Compare the requested 180/180 pan/tilt mode with the alternative inverted-range behavior, then determine which selectable option is intended. Done means the chosen mode tracks both angle ranges correctly and is covered by relevant verification.
