Contributed By - Shivam Bhagat

Aim

To make a vehicle that autonomously orients in the direction of maximum light exposure, controlled via Bluetooth.

Hardware Used

  • Arduino Uno-1
  • L298 Motor Driver IC-1
  • LDRs – 4
  • TowerProMicroServo Motors- 2
  • Potentiometers – 2
  • Cardboard
  • DC Motors-2
  • Bluetooth module-HC05-1
  • Lead-acid battery-1 Resistor

Details

The vehicle is controlled wirelessly by a keyboard through Bluetooth. It moves to a particular area of choice, and when given a command, it orients to the spatial position where it receives maximum amount of light. (Designed for a solar panel).It has 2 degrees of freedom, 1 horizontal, and 1 vertical. The tolerance value and speed can be controlled using potentiometers.
