I'd like to build something like this but not to control the telescope motion, not using encoders, just PUSH-TO. I'd like to know how to go about using a combination of IMU sensors and GPS/GNSS fusion data to simply identify where the telescope is pointing. If successful, at minimum the arduino would output the current RA/DEC coordinates. But I'd like it to be additionally capable of simultaneously outputting the direction to a Raspberry Pi, such that the Pi would use the sensor live pointing action as the basis for running apps like SkySafari and Stellarium. The idea being that the Pi would be just like a motion sensor smart tablet except that the sensors are actually the arduino on the telescope.I've been looking at various products to potentially use, absolute IMUs with magnetomete…
