Arduino Sun Tracking / Heliostat Program Updated to 0.9.6

Subscribe to my Feed!

The code for both the Open Source Arduino Sun Tracking / Heliostat Program and the Single Machine Sun Tracking / Heliostat Electronics Set Up has been updated to V.0.9.6.

Ver. 0.9.6 fixes a bug in the code which caused the altitude and azimuth of the heliostat to be calculated incorrectly for certain inputted angles. The entire “heliostat angle” algorithm was rewritten and tested throughly inside a computer simulation, so it should be good to go.

Code for the new Arduino IDE 1.0 has also been added.

As always, let me know if you encounter any issues.
