Project description
🛰️ Telescope Collision Protection System with LoRa & Ethernet This project implements a redundant safety system for large astronomical telescopes to monitor real-time orientation and prevent mechanical damage caused by accidental entry into pre-defined forbidden zones. The system features dual-MCU architecture and uses both LoRa (long-range wireless) and wired Ethernet for fault-tolerant operation. 🧭 System Architecture Overview Inertial Unit (on telescope): RP2040 Pico 9/10 DoF IMU (e.g., ISM330DHCX) LoRa transmitter (868 MHz) Dual Power Bank redundancy Control Unit (stationary)…
