!±8± Solaruino, aloof a simple solar tracking activity with the arduino duemilanove

This is a small arduino project I made a few months ago. It´sa simple solar tracker that turns the panel to the brightest incoming light source. In this case I used a torch to activate the 4 LDRs measuring the brightness. Futhermore the LCD shows these values and additionally the servo position. In future I will try to build an effective charger to supply current to the 9V (8.4V) rechargable battery. But I think, the solar cell will not provide enough amps to make this a real self-sufficient and autonomous unit. Used components: -1 Arduino Duemilanove -2 servos -1 LCD 16*4 characters -4 LDRs -1* 10V solar cell - some wood, a perfboard etc.
