Pi 5 Satellite Dish Tracker AI Kit – Real-Time Object Tracking with OpenCV and Pan-Tilt

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Build a pan-tilt camera system that automatically locks onto and follows a moving object — a satellite dish tracker, but with computer vision. Whether you’re tracking a toy car, a face, or a drone, this kit turns your Raspberry Pi 5 into an edge AI machine that reacts to visual input in real time. It’s the perfect introduction to autonomous tracking, robotics, and computer vision engineering.

What You'll Build

A fully functional pan-tilt tracking system that uses the Pi Camera Module 3 and OpenCV to detect and follow objects. You’ll assemble the servo bracket, wire the SG90s, and deploy Python scripts that command the servos to centre the target. The result is a working demonstration of vision-based control — and a platform you can extend into surveillance, drone landing pads, or interactive art installations.

What You'll Learn

• Implementing object detection and tracking algorithms with OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi 5
• Controlling multiple SG90 servo motors for precise pan-tilt movements
• Setting up an NVMe SSD with the M.2 HAT+ for high-speed storage and model caching
• Integrating camera, servos, and AI processing into a cohesive real-time system

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is designed for engineering students — B.Tech ECE, EEE, CSE — who want hands‑on experience with computer vision and edge AI. It’s also ideal for CBSE Class 12 students building a unique science fair project, Smart India Hackathon participants prototyping tracking solutions, and hobbyists from IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS Pilani eager to go beyond basic Arduino projects.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
