In this project we see how to build a dual axis solar tracker with photovoltaics. The photovoltaic itself will power the tracking system, so no external power source is needed. To track the sun, we used four LDR sensors, Arduino UNO compares the data provided by them to rotate the panel in the direction with…
The ISS Tracking Lamp is a Internet connected lamp which constantly tracks the ISS and displays it location on Earth’s surface (printed in 3D). The lamp also displays the sunny side of Earth with Neopixels! So, in this project, we are going to see the differents steps to build this lamp based on WEMOS…
One morning around 6AM, Simon Aubury’s cat heard a low-flying aircraft and to signal its displeasure at the event, decided to jump onto Simon’s face as he slept. Simon didn’t know that the airplane on his head was an A383 going to Dubai, but he decided to find out any information about the aircraft flying…
After finding that purchasing a tracking device for his satellite dish would be quite expensive, YouTuber “Tysonpower” decided to simply build one himself. He made it with 3D-printed parts and extruded aluminum that uses a pair of NEMA23 stepper motors for movement. While it doesn’t quite work with the dish itself due to its offset…
At World Maker Faire New York Arduino has unveiled the new Arduino MKR WAN 1300 and the Arduino MKR GSM 1400, two new boards that are designed to offer a practical and cost-effective solution for developers, makers and enterprises. The new Arduino MKR WAN 1300 is based around the Murata LoRa low-power connectivity module and the…
An interesting open source tracking device that succeeded to get funded on kickstarter recently. Read the funny story used to present: A few years ago we had a bad ice storm here in Massachusetts and we lost power for several days. Well during the power outage my brother-in-law’s house was robbed and one of the…
