Welcome to my channel! In this DIY project, I'll guide you through the process of building an Arduino-powered solar tracker, combining 3D printing and mechatronics to create an efficient solar solution. Discover how this project utilizes Arduino's open-source platform, making it beginner-friendly and perfect for simple input/output operations.

With a focus on accessibility, this solar tracker uses 3D printed components and employs Arduino control to track the sun throughout the day, maximizing the efficiency of the connected solar panel. Unlike some other solar trackers, this design incorporates 3 photo sensors and offers a semi-modular approach, providing scalability for future projects.
