AutoSat
AutoSat (Satelite Dish Positioner)
code updated in 2026 with addional features like calibrate sensors and QMC5883P code adaption the calibration parameter are stored in flash memory of esp8266 and loaded at startup
many thanks to @AK-Homberger for his previous code and electronic circuit which you could find here:

C++ (needed for stabil software diseqc puls generation)
needed hardware parts
- esp8266 d1 mini (clones works too)
- Diseqc rotor
- Actuator (<=50mm)
- gy-271 (with QMC5883P - not QMC5883L chipset)
- gy-521 (gyro for vertical adjustment)
- d24v10f5 (step down 24v to 5v)
- Adafruit drv8871 (actuator control)
- 1x 51ohm / 1x 100ohm resistor
- 1x 3,3uF / 1x 56nF capasitors
- 1x 1mH inductor
