A device which can point at the position of the sun, moon and planets with a laser. The user can choose whether he wants the current position or a specific timestamp. The code is available at: https://github.com/TheSiebi/Planetarium-using-RPi-and-Arduino.

You will need quite a few other parts apart from the 3D-printed ones if you actually want a functional planetarium:

  • 1x Raspberry Pi (I used 3B)
  • 1x Arduino (I used Uno Rev 3)
  • 2x NEMA 17 Steppers
  • 1x LCD (+ Keypad)
  • 1x Laser 303 (or any other Laser, just modify Laser_Bracket.stl)
  • 1x GPS Module
  • 1x Slip Ring (I used Adafruit 22mm 12 cabels)
  • 2x Bearings Outer 16mm Inner 5mm

and some screws, batteries and cabels.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
