    I’ve actually done both those things in real life believe it or not. But for the solar tracking I went lazy and used a pair of photoresistors and some canned PID code with a little tuning for my motor.

    And I fix lawnmowers for most of my neighborhood.

      You’re doing it wrong brother, if you’re doing it IRL that’s work, good riddance…

      But for real, that’s really cool! You hooked up a motor and photo resistors to a controller you’ve programmed? Bonkers. Do you have any write up about it? super curious about how you did it.
