Tunnelplan Sun Tracker

( for the 2th edition see https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5455024)

This is a 1:10 scale model of a sun tracker. The solar panel measures 1700 mm x 1000 mm and is aimed at the sun with a cheap linear motor, a solar sensor and software (under 100 euro). The construction is further made of wood. The sun tracker automatically follows the sun every day from east to west and then returns to its starting position. The angle to the sun of the panel is adjusted manually in the winter, spring / autumn and summer.

Before I start making the construction, this model shows how it works.
