Welcome to the Fibo-Box project

The Fibo-Box is a device to be used as a positioner for satellite dishes. The reason to start this project was to develop a new type positioner which could be controlled by a PC and could be driven with high accuracy. A positioner for those who wants to receive also the most weakest signals, like feedhunters and other satellite hobbyists. Therefor it is important to have full control over the dish with high accuracy. The Fibo-Box can be the difference in receiving a signal or not. Because the Fibo-Box is in the first case ment for amateur satellite reception it must be also reasonably priced. It has become a device with professional skills and still not too expensive.

In the early days there was version 1 of the Fibo-Box. It could drive one 36V motor controlled by PC. The project evoluated to version 3 of the Fibo-Box, which is the next model. Version 3 can drive two 36V motors and is also capable to drive a 5V servo motor all controlled by a PC. By this it is possible to control the azimuth, elevation and skew (mechanical polarizer). This gives a full control over the dish. The project is still in progres. Version 4 of the Fibo-Box is in development in the final phase.
