Solar Tracker Circuit How it Works

The explanations in this section are aimed at anyone with limited knowledge of electronics, electronic componments and circuit theory. I will make every attempt to clearly show how the circuit works, how it is put together and what can go wrong. I will also show components and how to identify and test them.

You can referrence wikipedia for indepth information on any of the components above. I will also explain how the batteries or DC supply is hooked up to the circuit as it uses a split power supply of +12 volts and -12 volts which can be difficult to understand. The circuit is actually quite simple by electronics standards and all the required components can be found in scrap electronics. If you are building the circuit you should also read up on basic electronics soldering how-to.
