6 Arduino (older version)
This page describes the Arduino version of the SkyeTracker system.
The circuit for Arduino includes a LM2596-12 buck regulator to supply a steady 12v to a L298 dual Full H Bridge Motor Controller. The unit is intended to be used with a 24V solar system.
You'll need the following parts:
- Arduino board
- 2 x Linear Actuator
- L298 dual Full H Bridge Motor Controller
- Anemometer Wind Speed Sensor
- LM2596-12 Buck Regulator
- DS1307 Realtime Clock
- HC-06 Bluetooth adapter
