Easy DIY Solar Tracker

A solar tracker is a solar panel device that orients itself towards (sun)light in order to generate as much electricity as possible. In this video, I go over how I easily built my own mini solar tracking system at home! This tutorial on how you can do this too goes over the materials needed (all linked below), the process of setting up the solar tracking stand, and the programming required to make this project work. ━ LINKS ━ Servo Motor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MFK266B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Solar Panel: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OZC3X1C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 LDR: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M9P6357/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Foam PVC Blue Sheet: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Palight-ProjectPVC-12-in-x-12-in-x-0-236-in-Foam-PVC-Blue-Sheet-159846/206402762?cm_mmc=ecc-_-THD_SHIP_CONFIRMATION_STS-_-V1_M1_CA-_-Product_URL&ecc_ord=WM15387411 Download Arduino: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software *All of the following items are from https://www.servocity.com/ and can be found using the SKU code numbers provided here. 0.375" (3/8") x 12.00" Aluminum Tubing (x1): 635250 0.375" to 0.375" Clamping Shaft Coupler (x1): 625064 15" x 15" ABS Sheet (0.250" Thickness) (x1): ABS250-15-15 25 Tooth 0.375" x 0.280" Servo Shaft (x1): 525146 3/8" Bore Bottom Tapped Clamping Mount (x2): 585544 3/8" Bore, Face Thru-Hole Pillow Block (x2): 535114 6-32 Nylock Nuts Pack (25 pack) (x1): 632142 6-32 x 0.250" (1/4) Zinc-Plated Socket Head Machine Screw (x1): 632106 6-32 x 0.4375" (7/16) Zinc-Plated Socket Head Machine Screw (x1): 632112 6-32 Zinc-Plated Steel Pan Head Screw (25 pack) 0.250" (1/4") (x1): 632176 Large Square Screw Plate (x1): 585430 Side Tapped Pattern Mount C (x2): 545360 Standard Servo Plate B (x1): 575124 U-Channel (13 Hole, 10.50" Length) (x2): 585452 ━ TIMESTAMPS ━ ►0:00 intro ►0:19 materials ►0:42 assembly ►5:00 coding ►6:32 wiring set-up ►8:32 results ►10:05 ending ━ BACKGROUND MUSIC ━ ►Warm Nights - LAKEY INSPIRE ►Blue Boi - LAKEY INSPIRE ►Blossom - LAKEY INSPIRE ►This Feeling - LAKEY INSPIRE ►Good Morning - LAKEY INSPIRE https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired ━ CHANNEL INFO ━ Hi, everyone!
