After having a group discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of every team's prototypes, we decided on fabricating two different designs and then testing to see which device would work best. One device uses a vertical axis to turn a cylindrical mounting for the solar panel, while the other design uses a gear/linkage to turn the panel along a horizontal axis. The teams went to work on the fabrication process and the designs are looking really good. Some students worked on the sensor station mounting board that will secure the micro-controller to the inside of the water proof casing. One student is also finalizing the software for the sensor stations which will include four humidity sensors, and the control routine for the solar tracker. We are getting very close to completion!
