Bachelor's Capstone Project: Automate the pan and tilt movement of a 9ft diameter solar furnace to track the sun.
Electronics Design:
- GPS Module to get time data
- Rotary encoder for pan positioning
- Accelerometer for tilt positioning
- Solar module for battery level and charging
Mechanical Design:
- Motor sizing for pan rotation
- Linear actuator sizing for tilt mechanism
- Counterweight installtion for reduced motor sizing
