Introductions of single axis solar tracker: A commonly favored Arduino project is a solar tracker system that follows the intensity of sunlight. It is divided into two primary categories: the single-axis solar tracker and the dual-axis solar tracker. The solar tracker with only one axis is operated by one motor, enabling movement in two directions.

1. Introduction (1) Purpose A conventional solar panel typically converts only 30 to 40 percent of incident solar irradiation into electrical energy. To ensure a consistent output, an automated system capable of continuously adjusting the solar panel’s orientation is necessary. Addressing this need, the Sun Tracking System (STS) was developed as a prototype solution. This

Overview: The solar tracking device is designed to ensure that a flat panel with a solar cell is constantly aligned with the movement of the sun across the sky. It utilizes two light dependent resistors (LDRs) positioned on opposite sides of a fin to measure the light levels. By comparing the readings from the LDRs,

I always wanted to make a PCB and this is my first professional circuit board attempt. So before you decide to start this project you should know there could be some mistakes or it could be more reliable and compact. This design is not the most efficient and cheapest way to make a DIY MPPT

For my first IoT project I wanted to build a Weather Station and send the data to data.sparkfun.com. Small correction, when I decided to open my account in Sparkfun, they were not accepting more connections, so I choose another IoT data collector thingspeak.com. Continuing… The system will be placed on my balcony and will retrieve temperature,

Growing plants is fun and watering and caring for them is not really a hassle. Microcontroller applications to monitor their health are all over the internet and the inspiration for their design comes from plant’s static nature and the ease of monitoring something that doesn’t run around and sweat. I am relatively new to plant

Space is big. Really big. Owning a small telescope can give a lot of pleasure, but it’s often a struggle trying to locate specific objects in the night sky. In this project I made and integrated an Arduino-powered star-finder with a small reflecting telescope, to allow me to easily find the galaxies, nebulae and clusters that

In this project I will show you how to create a solar tracker which like the name implies can follow the movement of the sun throughout the day. And at the end I will show you the energy harvest difference between a solar tracker mounted solar panel and a flat mounted solar panel. Let’s get started!

This instructable shows how to build a rather special pool sensor measuring the pool temperature and transmitting it via WiFi to Blynk App and to a MQTT broker. I call it the “Crocodile Solar Pool Sensor”. It uses the Arduino programming environment and an ESP8266 board (Wemos D1 mini pro). What’s so special about this project?

In this project I will show you how to build a solar-powered Raft Bird Repeller that will get rid of those pesky birds that poop on your raft. Step 1: Intro If you have ever been on a raft, you know just how relaxing and fun they can be to hang out on. One thing
