The Orbigator is a real-time ISS desktop tracker built by [wyojustin] featuring a transparent globe that rotates around an internal mechanism. Unlike similar builds, this design elegantly avoids trailing servo wiring by spinning the globe rather than moving a model across it. The project uses a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 running MicroPython for ISS position calculations, 3D-printed OpenSCAD components, and a KiCad-designed PCB. All files and documentation are available on GitHub.
