  • Abstract
    This paper gives a design that using 32-bit ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) embedded microprocessor chip as a controller, to achieve the automatic sun tracking by controlling of the vertical and horizontal two directions through the program. Analyze the systematic error and experiment, results show that: the method of tracking accuracy can be up to the ±0.1°, in various weather conditions. The tracker system can steadily work and achieve the expected design performance.
