In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative technology,
enhancing connectivity and control across various domains. This Mini-project presents an
innovative IoT-based antenna positioning system designed to enable remote and precise control of
antenna orientation. Utilizing a Node MCU microcontroller paired with stepper motors, the
system allows for accurate positioning adjustments, driven by user commands transmitted via the
Blynk app.
Key components of the system include the Node MCU for processing commands and controlling
the motors, sensors mounted on the antenna to detect its current orientation, and the Blynk app,
which serves as the user interface for sending positioning instructions over the internet. The
integration of these components facilitates a seamless feedback loop, ensuring the antenna is
positioned correctly and efficiently.
It has broad applications in telecommunications for optimizing signal strength, in satellite tracking
to maintain proper alignment, and in research settings where frequent adjustments of antenna
positions are necessary.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The system consists of two parts: a. The circuit of antenna and motor control. b. The Blynk app for user commands.
2. The circuit installed consists of various components such as MPU6050, Stepper motors interfaced with Node
MCU. 3. The Node MCU controller is responsible for positioning the motors. 4. Depending upon current reading of
accelerometer, the controller takes input from user through the Blynk app via Wi-Fi module and motors move to
intended position. 5. As a result, the user will receive current position of antenna and positioning of antenna will be
done according to user commands. Figure 1:

COMPONENTS REQUIREMENTS
Power Supply Power supply is most important part of system. The supplied power to MPU6050 is +5v and for
motors is +12v.
Microcontroller (Node MCU) Node MCU is 32 pin microcontroller IC with inbuilt WIFI module. All the
components of the system are interfaced with this microcontroller. It is responsible for the functioning of the
system.
The motor rotates when it receives the signal from the Node MCU. The speed and the direction of motor can be
changes as we change the rate of input signal. The motor rotates in clockwise or anticlockwise with 90 degree step
angle.
