Motorized Sun Tracking system

Abstract

The goal of this project is headed for develops a Motorized Sun Tracking System that has abilities to track the sun and gives user information of surrounding light intensity through Graphical User Interface (GUI). The project is started with some reviews and studies on related pre-existence projects and theoretical parts. The project’s development is divisible into two parts that are hardware construction and software development. Motorized Sun Tracking System works by rotating stepper motor from 0 degree forward to 180 degrees and turn back after reach the maximum degree of rotation. During the rotation, the reading of light intensity is taken and presented on GUI. When the light sensor senses the maximum light intensity, where the intensity is classified as maximum sun light, the motor will immediately stop rotates. This project can be improved by adding several elements to make it works efficiently.
