Testing and Results
Initial testing will be done with simulations. Parts of the circuit will then be built and
tested for correct operation. The sensor will need to give two signals for the motor to either
turn clockwise or counter clockwise. The motor control should also be able to receive the
signals and turn CW or CCW accordingly. Once completed, solar tracking will be tested by a
moving light source (flashlight) and observing panel movement. The panel should move slowly
by comparing the light intensities of each side. Finally, the tracker will be tested for accuracy.
The tracker will be place in the sun and turned clock wise and counter clock wise to see if it will
return to the original position when correcting itself.
