    What would be your use for it? I agree it’s super cool, I just struggle to think of how to use it if I’m not manufacturing something.

      That’s always the thing, right?!

      In my younger days,I was so quick to say “cool,I want one” and before I even came up with a need for it, i’d zlready have one on order. Bought so much useless junk that way. I stopped doing that years back.

      I think in this case, I might make an exception. I design stuff for a living, but it’s all (or mostly) mechanical. Just to mess around more with the electronics side of things, I might build one eventually.

      If only for holding the antenna during a satellite pass.

      I wish I could get a hold of an antenna rotator either fully assembled, or at least a complete kit, without significant number of parts missing.

      I don’t want to tinker with stepper motors and automation integration while tinkering with radios. Damn missing dependencies all the way down!
