**Working on update as this was popular (for me :))**
+ Redesigning 3D printed parts... (a little more robust, more enclosed, include brass inserts etc)...
+ Will look at the code and see how to improve it...
+ Add OLED for readout (position/voltage/tracking data/loop etc)...
+ Might scale up the Solar Cell...
**Experimental Solar Cell Tracking Project for under $10**
Recently purchase a couple of the small Solar Cell Modules on eBay (80x104mm 5V 250mA) and they work fine but it's time to add some tracking...
The 3D printed parts are simple enough so I thought I'd share...
I haven't written the code yet but will probably use one of the Arduino modules as I have lots (code has been added)...
Just to note I don't use LDR's to track the sun, I simply measure the solar cell's voltage and move it left/right, up/down a few degrees and determine the best position, no rocket science here, just simple measurements (will publish code when finished)...
