This page is for notes for an independent robotics study by Odalys Benitez and Leon Santen. Our final project is to build a pan-tilt mechanism for a solar panel array on Woodland Harvest Mountain Farm.

Foundation Research

LoRa research
This page is a collection of research insights around LoRa and useful communication tips.

Pan-tilt mechanism research
This page is a gathering of potential components and calculations around the solar panel pan-tilt mechanism.

Sensor Data Acquisition
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
