Hello world! Today i build a solar tracker with a mini solar panel a servo and 2 Photoresistors. Follow the next step for the schematic, Code & Parts list.

Simply wire it up like the schematic and it should work.
You need to play with the photoresistors a bit to get it to work. If you take a look at the video you see how i created a small wall between the 2 Photoresistors, to make it work properly. Good luck!
Parts list.
- Arduino uno, I used the robotdyn uno.
- 2x photoresistor.
- 1x servo.
- 2x 10 k Resistor
- Jumper wire set MM/FF/MF.
Good luck!
