Arduino Sunflower Tracks the Sun!
A sun tracker is an automatic platform that always turns its face towards the sun throughout the day like a sunflower using light sensors called photoresistors. We’ll build our own sunflower sun trackers using Arduino, a servo motor and some electronic components, and some code to bring it to life.
