DIY Solar Tracker | Home made SOLAR TRACKER

Introduction : In this  session I make 'Solar Tracker' that tracks sun very well as I think the process works like a clock in my project some counter ,Op amp ,LDR ,Motor driver IC ,and Magnet sensor used. Working : So lets go on working of this project. In first phase a frequency generator(NE555 IC) generate frequency adjustable by preset then the PWM signal goes to binary counter CD4017 then to first optocoupler PC817 then it gives signal to motor driver ic L293D then after adjustable the PWM signal motor runs every 1 Hour interval and moves roughly 5 degree. In second phase the first LDR sense that its evening then it gives signal to LM358 Op amp IC so the whole counter disconnected by first optocoupler then motor stops running. After some time when the condition is fully dark(Night) then second LDR sense that its time to switch on reverse process to go solar panel at its initial position(for next day) then the in the last phase Reed switch is used with solar panel when ...

XL6009 Buck Boost Converter

                                           Introduction Hey there in this session we will discuss how the buck boost converter works, here I am using XL6009 module and upgrade to buck boost converter. Components Modified Inductor  XL6009 Boost Converter Module Upgrading XL6009 Module First we need toroid inductor from old SMPS filter, now make 25 turns of 0.7mm copper wire with two wires hence we got two coils of same turns as shown in figure.  Make Dual Coil inductor of 25 turns each After this we have to remove the old inductor from xl6009 module and then we got two PCB points at which we will connect our modified inductor. Remove the old Inductor from XL6009 module Now connect the wire of both coils of inductor as shown in figure, the first coil wires connect between +VCC input and other to SW i.e. switch pin of XL6009 IC. And other coil wire will connect between in...
