My case design for the excellent Ghettostation Antenna Tracker from KipK.
The case was inspired by the EZ Antenna Tracker / Ground Station, EZtracker Immersion RC by RcHobbysUK here on Thingiverse.
The case features:
- 0-135 degree Tilt Head
- 360 degree Pan mount (ball bearing supported)
- Antenna quick change/release to allow use of multiple different antennas
- ImmersionRC Duo 5800 V3, V4, Uno5800 V2 and Uno2400 Video RX mount (single mini DIN connection, lever for frequency selection)
- Lawmate 2.4Ghz mount
- 3DR Radio Telemetry Module (900Mhz or 433 Mhz) mount on the tracking plate
- Easy access Battery compartment for up to 3700mAh 4S LiPo Pack
- LCD mount and holes for the 3 selection buttons
- Arduino Mega 2560 Rev 3 Mounting tabs including USB connector cut out
- Mounts for Battery Voltage Alarm, Power On/Off, Ground OSD Power On/Off, 4x Video out, 1x T-Style/Deans Power connector
- Tripod Quickmount and additional feet for table top/car roof top positioning
Please refer to the instructions for details on the used components and links to the Software and Forum.
Updates:
21/11/2014:
- updated rear case with more servo clearance to accommodate taller servos such as the GWS S125-1T/2BB Winch Servo and nut slots added for reach cover mount (the plastic wears out quite quickly if the case is opened and closed multiple times. Adding a nut solves this).
- Servo spacer for GWS S125 added
31/12/2014:
- ImmersionRC Duo5800 mount renamed to DUO5800_V3 in preparation for release of a mount suitable for the DUO5800 V4
4/1/2014:
- Happy 2015 everyone. Mounting plate for DUO5800 V4 added. You will need to print 2 of the Duo5800_push.stl and Duo5800_lever.stl for the V4 of the DUO5800 as it has both Band and Frequency selection buttons. As I'm not the proud owner of a V4 and the design is based on drawings received from ImmersionRC, please do let me know in case changes are required once you tested it out (and also drop a note in case it works fine as is). Thanks
27/1/2015:
Turnplate updated to allow removal of the top without the need to pull the cables through before.
29/1/2015:
Added RX mounts for ImmersionRC Uno5800 V2 and Uno2400 (same mount as Uno5800) receiver and Lawmate 2.4Ghz receiver
16/2/2015:
After receiving feedback that a large part of the files failed to print in Slic3r and Cura, I believe I found an error in the scaling method I used to export the files. All files are updated and check out in 3 slicers I have tested so far. Please report back in case there are still issues.
Other changes:
- Added spacers for the bearings as, depending on servo and filament used there is a gap between bearing and turnplate. Print the required thickness and insert it between the bearing mount and the rear top cover
- updated the rear case to allow the use of a M4 nut for the battery door as the plastic wears out after some time.
- 2 versions of the rear case are not available. 1 version comes with 4 video connectors and 1 Deans connector, the other with 2 video connectors, one deans and one XT60 connector.
01/03/2015:
- Added mirror version of the Uno5800 Mount in case you want to install it on the left side or have one Uno5800 on one and a Uno2400 on the other side.
29/03/2015:
- Corrected Uno2400 mount added (left and right side)
11/04/2015:
- added modular Antenna mounts. Allows quick change of the following Antenna types:
1) ImmersionRC 5.8 Patch (IMRC5.8_Lock.stl)
2) ImmersionRC 2.4 Patch (IMRC2.4_Lock.stl)
3) Circular Wireless 5.8 Helix (CW5.8_Lock.stl)
You will need to replace the tilt head plate with the new lock plate (Head_Lock.stl).
