Arduino Controlled Solar Tracker
One of the projects I've been working on in my spare time is a Arduino controlled solar tracker. A solar tracker is simply a system that will adjust the angle and rotation of a solar array, such that the panels are perpendicular to the sun, giving maximum efficiency.

For the initial concept phase, I'm starting out small scale with servor motors and a small panel. Eventually, I'd like to scale it up so that the system can position some 16"x36" panels.
I'm new to Ardiuino, but not new to programming, so I'm hoping I'll pick it up quickly. Anyone else have experience in this area?

This project needs:
-- Mechanical design and CAD work to design the mechanics of the system
-- People who can fabricate parts if necessary
-- People who are good with electronics for the electrical work.
-- Anyone else interested in participating!
