#140186 - Tracking
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Dear All,
I am making a "Solar Tracker" that tracks the sun:
1.) By calculating the solar angles and then moving the, appropriate stepper motors as per the calculated solar angles.
2.) And then fine tuning of the tracker on the basis of the sensors.


At the start of the day, you know pretty closely where the sun is, do you need to calculate it ? Can't you just store a single azimuth value lookup table.

I fail to see how your sensors can fail to see the sun !
