Here is a funny bug of my Solar Tracker.

I was testing the automatic failsafe conditions of time initialization.  

Due to a bug, the panel thought it was the very morning and made an unexpected "go to East" flip. Then it started to follow the sun but on the opposite direction (~180° azimuth off) !

Will be corrected into the next release of the code. It is not affecting the current version of the code published on my Github

This video can however be used to display the "return to East" that should occur at night! 

It's a timelapse video with an increased speed by a ratio 120, it was a quite windy day, the panel is shaking a little, but works !
