StarPointer - Electronic Finderscope

StarPointer is a virtual electronic finderscope for astronomical telescopes. This device works with Stellarium and helps the observer identify objects in the sky.

This sensor kit builds around the STM32F103C8 microcontroller, ADXL345 3-axis accelerometer, and HMC5883L 3-axis magnetometer. It communicates with the PC using the inbuilt USB peripheral of the STM32F103C8 microcontroller.

StarPointer is an open-source project. This repository has all the schematics, PCB design files, firmware source codes, and application source codes.

The complete documentation of this project is in the wiki section of this repository. The PCB Gerber files and compiled binaries are also available in the release section of this repository. The PCB of the StarPointer can also order from the PCBWay website.
