Software Design of Mobile Antenna for Auto Satellite Tracking Using Modem Correction and Elevation Azimuth Method. Pointing accuracy is important in satellite communication. Because the satellite’s distance to the surface of the earth's satellite is so huge, 1 degree of pointing error will make the antenna unable to send data to satellites. To overcome this, the auto-tracking satellite controller is made. This system uses a microcontroller as the controller, with the GPS as the location indicator of the antenna, a digital compass as the beginning of antenna pointing direction, a rotary encoder as azimuth and elevation censor, and a modem …

Electrical Engineering
The intelligent irrigation zone splitter allows easy expansion of an existing irrigation controller. To expand on an existing controller a new wire is needed to run between the controller and the valve. This path may be buried beneath driveways, patios, and sidewalks. The intelligent irrigation zone splitter uses an already existing wire path to control two valves and create a new watering zone. This controller uses timing and memory to split the total watering time of the zone.
