Solar Tracker Isometric View

The design process for the divider was to make sure that when a light is shining at 30 and 45 degrees, the light would only shine on one side. Through this, the servo would move towards the light and the same thing would happen to the other side as well.

Solar Tracker Assembly

For the assembly, I had to use mates to put parts together in SolidWorks. After that, I added more mates to put in the divider. When the build was done, it was ready for the program that I created in TinkerCAD.

Solar Tracker Program

The solar tracker program was when light was sensed form the photoresistors, the servo would move towards the light. Deadbands and offsets were also used to make sure the servo wouldn’t jitter when the light was on both of the photoresistors.
