1Step 1
For the assembly instructions of the Open CPV Solar Tracker Controller based on breakout boards see assembly and operating instructions in 2021_08_14_Full_description.pdf.
The Assembly of the all in one board "Magnetic CPV Tracker v2 0f" should be done by a professional assembly company. You will find all required files for ordering at:
Magnetic_CPV_Tracker_v2_0f_Eagle_CAD_CAM_BOM_documentation.zip
A detailed assembly and operation manual as well as the final design of the pogo pin test board will follow. The remaining assembly steps for an waterproof unit will be:
- Prepare an aluminum plate with a shading beam and through holes for the LED photo diodes.
- Test the board or get one of the tested boards from us.
- Mount the board on the aluminum plate with silicone as heat transfer agent and encapsulant.
- Connect the wires to the 12-36V DC supply, motors and RS485 communication.
- Cover it all with silicone to get a hermetic package without air inclusions.
The operation of Magnetic CPV Tracker v2 0f will be very similar to the breakout board version so refer to 2021_08_14_Full_description.pdf for a preview.
