_This page is for notes for an independent robotics study by Odalys Benitez and LeonSanten. Our final project is to build a pan-tilt mechanism for a solar panel array on Woodland Harvest Mountain Farm._
##Foundation Research
[[LoRa research]]</br>This page is a collection of research insights around LoRa and useful communication tips.
[[Pan-tilt mechanism research]]</br>This page is a gathering of potential components and calculations around the solar panel pan-tilt mechanism. [[Sensor Data Acquisition]]</br>This page is a combination of different resources for learning how to obtain solar radiation data from an Apogee Pyranometer and how to make this data inform actuator position
##Project Documentation
[[Pan-Tilt System for Solar Array]]</br>This page is documentation of our work on the pan-tilt mechanism. It provides tips and info for future students and visitors.  [[Electrical Control Unit]]</br>This page documents the wireless communication system that monitors the electrical system. It includes the GitHub repository, and tips around coding and using sensors. ##Project Report
[[Electrical Control UnitFinal Report]]</br>This page documents our final report for the semester. We talk about our design and building process, hardware assembly process, and software. We also mention their relation to sense-think-act.## To Do

The [falstad online circuit simulator](https://www.falstad.com/circuit/circuitjs.html) is great to quickly test a circuit- speck out encoder- calculate angle for solar panels, check its output voltage or behavior.pan and tilt, simulation- find bolts for rectangular center post
