Week 8 Solar Tracking

brianjmjung

Hello everyone,

The solar tracking team has almost completed putting together the hardware for the final prototype using solar sensors. We are still working on attaching the T-bracket to the central column. We have tested with the solar sensor and everything is working great. But, we wanted to explore using the Arduino to control the panel because if this product was to be manufactured, it would bring down costs and be more energy efficient than using solar sensors. So our programming team is currently working on the logic and code of the Arduino.

Next week we will continue working to make sure the programming portion is ready to go for testing.
