Open-source antenna tracker for model aircraft and drones using Mavlink, Frsky, CRSF, and GPS protocols.
AntTracker is an open-source antenna tracking system that automatically points high-gain UHF or SHF antennas at moving model aircraft or drones. It solves the problem of maintaining strong telemetry and control links by keeping directional antennas aimed at the moving vehicle throughout its flight.
Drone hobbyists, RC model enthusiasts, and UAV experimenters who need reliable long-range telemetry and control links for their aircraft.
Developers choose AntTracker for its support of multiple popular RC and drone protocols (Mavlink, Frsky, CRSF, GPS) and its specialized focus on model aircraft applications rather than commercial aviation systems.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports Mavlink, Frsky, CRSF, GPS, and more, ensuring compatibility with most hobbyist drone and RC equipment without vendor lock-in.
Dynamically points directional antennas to follow moving aircraft, optimizing signal strength for telemetry and control links during flight.
As an open-source project, it allows modifications and integrations for experimental UAV setups, leveraging community contributions.
Specifically designed for model aircraft and drones, with features tuned for common hobbyist use cases rather than commercial aviation.
The main README is minimal, forcing users to rely on the WiKi for setup, which may be incomplete or require frequent updates.
Requires building and calibrating hardware components like servos and antennas, which can be error-prone and time-consuming for non-experts.
Does not support all proprietary protocols (e.g., DJI), potentially restricting compatibility with some popular drone brands.
