The present paper relates to a dish positioning system by a single IR remote. The system includes a microcontroller for processing commands related to positioning of the dish. The use of a dish is mainly to receive signals coming from satellite, and the aim of the project is to adjust the position of the dish for getting maximum number of signals from satellite. The manual process of doing this is very much time taking and can be incorrect also, so an automated dish positioning system is required to overcome these problem of manual process. The main components that are required for angle control of dish mainly are microcontroller, motor, and an IR remote. The signal transmitted by the remote to the IR receiver and then receiver further sends the signal to the microcontroller. Microcontroller is loaded with basic programming, therefore microcontroller controls the motor via a motor driver IC. By the implementation of automated system for controlling angle of dish, the system becomes more efficient and accurate.
