HARDWARE COMPONENTS
STM32
A powerful 32-bit microcontroller that serves as the system’s primary brain.
Handles complex logic, sensor data processing, and motor control timing with high efficiency.
ESP32
A high-speed Wi-Fi/Bluetooth gateway.
Allows the STM32 to send telemetry data to the cloud or receive remote commands over the internet for real-time monitoring.
DS3231
A highly accurate real-time clock (RTC) equipped with battery backup.
Ensures the system always knows the exact date and time for precise astronomical calculations, even after a power loss.
NEO-7M
A GPS module providing exact geographic coordinates and satellite-synced time.
Essential for dynamically calculating the sun’s exact trajectory relative to your specific physical location on Earth.
INA219
A specialized sensor monitoring high-side voltage and DC current via an I2C interface.
Enables precise tracking of power consumption and the actual energy yield being generated by the solar panel.
NEMA 17 Motors
Standard bipolar stepper motors known for their high precision and holding torque.
Allows the system to move the solar array to specific angular positions with high repeatability and stability against wind load.
DRV8825
Motor driver modules acting as the heavy-duty bridge between the STM32 and the motors.
Handles the high-current demands of the NEMA 17s and supports microstepping for smoother, quieter, and more precise movement.
