Description

Make Your Own Arduino Solar Tracker in a Step by Step Manner, learn and have fun Practicing Arduino

Welcome to this course.

This course will teach you how to make your own Arduino Solar Tracker at home using Light Sensitive Sensors and increase the efficiency of your solar panel by up to 40%. This guide will take you in a step-by-step manner to understand each component, why we use it, what it does, and how to wire it up, starting with the basics of Arduino and ending with Light Sensitivity Sensors and Motors used to drive the Solar Panel.

You will learn the actual working principle of Sunlight Detection, what an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) is, and how to interface, wire, and code it correctly to control the efficiency of your solar panel. Making your Arduino Solar Tracker system and initiating alarm actions will seem easy after taking this course.

After this course, you will be able to make your own homemade Arduino Solar Tracker.

All connections are explained in detail, and you can choose the number of light detectors you wish to use to improve the device's accuracy.

Why You Should Take This Course:

  • Learn and practice the fundamentals of Arduino.

  • Build a functional solar tracker using inexpensive materials.

  • Easily make changes to get better performance.

  • Learn how to track the sun's movement with an Arduino.

  • Work with series, parallel circuits, resistors, and capacitors.

  • No prior knowledge is necessary; all concepts are explained in detail.

Goal From This Course:

  • Make your own Arduino Solar Tracker that works efficiently and effectively. Track sunlight and move the solar panel towards it to improve its efficiency.

What You Will Learn in This Course:

  • How to make an Arduino Solar Tracker.
