Electron Drivers' title='Electron Drivers' />Coffee roasting business. They have built their solar powered Helios 4 coffee roaster. Essentially a large Fresnel dish on a vertical axis mount. Up to now they have been manually controlling this dish. Actually this works pretty good as the operator must be on hand to monitor the roasting anyway. Electron Drivers' title='Electron Drivers' />Roasting takes 1. I dont know if Id have the patience to do this. Now they want to automate the process with a solar tracker. They want someone to devise a solar tracker system to control the Helios 4 roaster. And better yet, they will award the winner with a grand prise of 1. There is a 5. 0 entry fee so they can know you are serions. I would enter except my plate is to full right know, sounds fun. If you have questions Im willing to assist you with your project. I would prefer initial contacts by phone 6. BTW, I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just like to see cool projects happen. OK, get your buts in gear and make this happen for them.

About Us My brother and I, Dave and Mike Hartkop, started our company five years ago. It grew out of a realization we had that we could roast organic coffee directly with solar energy, instead of using natural gas. Our first roaster, the Helios 1, used a satellite dish covered with mirrors and a roaster made from a broccoli strainer It could roast about 1 pound of coffee in 1. In 2. 00. 7, we moved from Oregon to southern Colorado in order to take advantage of the nearly year round solar exposure in Pueblo Colorado. We opened our own retail coffee shop, called Solar Roast Coffee, and have been in business ever since Our newest roaster, the Helios 4, employs a 3. The new machine can roast up to 3. We DO purchase carbon credits in order to offset the fuel we inadvertently burn. About the Contest Our contest, the Sun Tracker Challenge, directs teams to design and build a solar tracker system. The system must interface with the Helios 4 and will keep it aligned to the sun through an eight hour roasting day. Entrants can use frame grabs from our existing video camera, install their own sensors, or install position encoders and use a timer based method to accomplish the task The winning team receives 1. The top ten finalists all receive Solar Roast Coffee prizes, including coffee and T shirts. June 1. 0 Final Project Proposals Deadline your teams project proposal is received. Proposal is just that a proposal, not a finished project. June 1. 5 Top Ten Finalists announced all proposals have been reviewed, ten most workable are chosen. June 1. 5 August 3. Ten finalist teams build and test their sun tracker projects, readying them for practical test in Pueblo. September 1 3. 0 Practical Testing of top ten Projects.

Interface Details Controlling the array movement Our control system includes a set of relays that can be driven directly by the teams project. Our control box has a female 5 Pin DIN connector see image 5pin. DIN. jpg which is addressed as follows. Track toward vertical. Track toward horizon. Pan Clockwise. pin 4 Pan Counterclockwise. Relays Common, floating. Ground. The internal relays driven are of type Siemens VKP 3. F4. 2 relay. Sealed, PC mount power relay for high current applications. Vdc, 9. 0 coil, 1. A. SPDT contacts rated at 3. Amps. 1. 0. 2 x 0. The system is wired so that opposing directions can not be activated at the same time. See schematic relaysschem. The relay coils are electrically isolated from the control system, and are floating with respect to ground. Powering your project A standard 2 socket 1. VAC outlet is provided near the main control box. The outlet is GFCI protected and rated at 2. A. Projects are expected to have their own internal fuses 1. A or lower in line with line power supplied. Your project box, to be connected to Solar Roaster Control box, should measure no larger than 1. We need room for bags of green coffee. Sensors and cables 1. Use magnets to affix sensors to the system. A rotary encoder, if used, should be fitted with ANSI 4. You provide encoder with sprocket attached, I will mount it Movement and Motors The outer Circular track is exactly 3. The system is driven by two 9. The speed presets can be set by adjusting the electronic speed controller knobs internal with the system controls. Default motor tracking and panning speeds are roughly 3sec. The movable array weighs 5. Kind of a Lazy Susan on steroids. There is minimal mechanical backlash at start and stop, and the system can be controlled manually with switches and targeting camera to an accuracy of 18th, About 12 the Suns image diameter.

Seeker Project. David Carters PIC based solar tracker. Carter uses a method that acquires the sun by alternately panning in azimuth then elevation. The PIC reads output current and finds the maximum. This is done without light sensors just the charging current sensor. The large servos, similar to radio controlled or RC servos, are driven with a pulse width signal. The ON time defines the angle. The OFF time is not critical and should be from 1. S to 3. 0m. S. ON time of 1. S 0. ON time of 1. S 6. 0. ON time of 2. S 1. 20Interesting idea but not really the best way of tracking the sun. Light sensors work much better. Rich De. Martile lt richdemartileprodigy. Cd. S photo cells. Peterthinks lt Peterthinkshotmail. RC servos. The system has a tracker based on BEAM technology. The beam circuits powered the RC servos. The tracker used only the power of the sun to move. The Analog Guy Solar Trackers ST2 4. V5. A SINGLE DUAL AXIS SOLAR TRACKER 5. V 5. A MAXST2 1.

His professor requires that he use a stepper motor drive. I designed a preliminary circuit for him to use. This circuit doesnt have rotation limits yet. LED7 Solar Tracker Schematicrelaycds.

It uses a Radio Shack 2. A relay. Adjust the sensitivity of the Cd. S cells with a Sharpie permanent marker as described. Chace tracker. The picture tells it all. This tracker is not as accurate as the electronic tracker but quite sufficient for use with PV panels. While the proof of concept is good it will burn the relay contacts. This is caused by the relays being turned on or off slowly. It melted the plastic case on the relays. How Limit Switches Operate. Limit switches are essential for servo motor operation with solar trackers. I made this diagram to help explain how they work. Top. Normal operation between limit switches. Middle. The left limit switch has opened to stop movement to the left. To move to the right again the diode conducts current that allows movement to the right. Bottom. The right limit switch has opened to stop movement to the right. To move to the left again the diode conducts current that allows movement to the left.
