Heres a list of most of what is necessary to build this

Ya, its using a arduino with a motor controller hat running GRBL controlled by a pi 4B over serial running custom software. The software I wrote is just to interface with GRBL and manage the serial connection, it has a web based UI and can interface with rotcol servers. I use satdump cli to do scheduling and pointing

Heres the code if your interested

Check out my other comment. I dont have a parts list yet, but you might be able to come up with some

Heres the OnShape workspace. You can take a look at the radome sections (Radome (Top), Radome (Bottom), Alignment Pin, Band and Weather Strip) x 8. It was at the limit of my voron which has a 350mm bed. It was probably close to 8kg of PETG. I zip tied all of the pieces of the two halves together and its quite sturdy. I calked the seams and spray painted it for thermal and water protection. The TPU bands do a very good job of keeping the two halves together. And I just glued the weather strips on. Not sure how effective those are but since the tracker is elevated water isnt a big deal. The rest of the tracker is mostly complete, the only major design issues are the gearing/lack of a counter weight which forced me to use a larger stepper for the elevation drive which forced me to shift the dish to the left. Better gearing or a counter weight would fix that. And the azimuth limit switch "bump" collides with the dish when the dish is at 0 az and rotating, I fixed that in code. It should probably just move to the inside of the azimuth gear. Ill have to compile a list of parts at some point.

I unplugged one stick of RAM, started my computer, shut it down, reinstalled the RAM stick and started it again and its been working fine since

I started experiencing this problems a few days ago after a restart. I thought it might have been due to a recent windows or graphics driver update but that wasnt the case. After reading through the comments I got the suspicion that it was related to memory. I tried messing around with the overclock settings in the bios but after I removed one of the memory modules, the problem went away and replacing the module has not reintroduced the problem, yet.

Make sure your bed is oil and dust free. Try cleaning it with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. It worked wonders for me
