README
README.mdDish Repository
This repository contains hardware and firmware work for refurbishing a legacy 3-meter satellite dish into a modern, networked robotic system.
The design is split into two PCB projects that work together over CAN:
Projects
1. controller/ - RCM Dish Controller Board
The main motion-control and compute board for the dish.
- STM32-based two-axis motion controller
- On-board Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 carrier
- Power, I/O, communications, and safety/control interfaces
- KiCad hardware design plus associated embedded/software assets
See: controller/README.md
2. can_hub/ - CAN Bus Hub
A simple CAN distribution hub that also routes 24 V power to CAN_V+ pins.
See: can_hub/README.md
Repository Layout
controller/: Main controller electronics, docs, and softwarecan_hub/: CAN power/distribution hub hardware
Purpose
Together, these boards provide the control and field-bus backbone for the dish:
controller/runs motion control and local host integrationcan_hub/provides CAN/power fan-out for connected nodes

Questions
How big is the Rcm dish controller PCB?
It measures 140 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Rcm dish controller use?
314 parts, built around the 74LVC1G07SE-7-MS, ADM3057EBRWZ-RL, TPD4EUSB30DQAR and TPD4EUSB30DQAR-N. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Rcm dish controller KiCad files?
From the jrseti/Dish repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is controller/kicad/rcm_dish_controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic can_hub/kicad/CanBusHub.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Rcm dish controller design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
