Updates on Dual Axes Sun Tracker with Sensor

A drawback of living in a remote location is that, among many other things, it is hard to find a big electronics component store. During my last visit to Karachi, I had purchased a good amount of electronic components from electronics market. i also collected some visiting cards from the dealers that now helping me sourcing hard-to-find electronic components for the Solar tracker and MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracker) controller. Still one component MAX4713 is missing and they are keep trying to find for me.The modern communication means helped mutually  both the parties in getting required components.

Spent about Rs.9000 purchasing misc. components that will be used in my other projects. I have now good amount of components and can easily make assembly line for manufacturing of sun-tracker, MPPT and sensor.
Here is the dual axes sun tracker with the sensor. The circuit was etched yesterday and all components were mounted. today i will calibrate the sensor and check the working of the circuit board.
