Creating a Sunflower Solar Panel using Arduino

Have you ever wanted to create your own sunflower solar panel that follows the movement of the sun? With a light sensor, a servo motor, and an Arduino board, it's easier than you might think! In this guide, we'll walk you through each line of code and explain how it all works in simple terms . circuit diagram of servo motor at light intensity greater than 100 lumens circuit diagram of servo motor at light intensity less than 100 lumens A sunflower solar panel image. DOWNLOAD PROTEUS FILE AND CODE ``` #include <Servo.h> ``` First, we include the Servo library which allows us to control servo motors with our Arduino board. The Servo library helps an Arduino board control servo motor. Servo motors have gears and a shaft that can be moved to different positions. The Servo library can control many servos at once and has several methods for controlling them. These methods let you attach a servo motor to an Arduino board, move it to a specific position or speed, read its current...
