Complete Parts List
Last Updated: 9/26/21
This page holds the complete list of parts needed to re-create this project yourself. It’s currently a work in progress!
Recommended Background
General Electronics
While you may not need to build your own hardware to work on RL, this particular project also would not have been possible without experience designing and building circuits. To get started here, the best step I’d recommend would be getting the Arduino Uno Starter Kit.
Circuit Components
To create the electronics for the dual-axis tracking solar panel, you’ll need the following components.
Arduino Uno
Breadboards - any will do
SG90 servo motors (2)
Adafruit INA260 current, voltage, and power sensor
L7805 voltage regulator
Diode (1) - any will do
Capacitors (2) - 100uF
Resistors (4) - two 10kΩ resistors, two 220Ω resistors
LEDs (3) - two blue and one green, but the colors are arbitrary
