SkySeeker is a complete DIY software and hardware antenna tracker solution for drones (UAVs, RPAs profesionals and FPV hobbyists). SkySeeker is a follow-up project of the famous U360GTS Tracker System. Since the U360GTS Project has not seen much development, while in a very advanced state with a lot of potential left behind, we dicided to build up on this fantastic base and start the SkySeeker Project to push further development. It is the perfect option if you need to track different aircrafts with different telemetry protocols. Firmware and hardware design have been developed by members of FPV community and are released for free under the GPLv3 license.
You are encouraged to read all the documentation before using this firmware in your devices in order to prevent damages, unexpected behavior and misconfiguration.
U360GTS was based on Cleanflight and supported especially older Flight Controllers like the F1 based NAZE32 or the F3 based SPRacingF3. As these FC are nowadays very hard to impossible to come by and implementing newer FCs would be a mammoth task, SkySeeker will be completely rebased on the latest INAV version 6.1.1! This allows us to support the latest and gratest controller generations and a variety of readily available and cheap FCs, to conbtrol your tracker. This includes especially F411 and F405 based Flight controllers, that are widely available today and many of us have in their parts drawer anyway. Flight controllers without an onboard magnetometer are to be preferred.
