Sun Direction Sensor

The sun tracking sensors were experimented in operative conditions with direct exposition to the sun.

Sun direction sensor.

A sun sensor is a device that senses the direction to the sun to measure the position of the sun or other light sources with respect to the sensor position. A sun sensor is a navigational instrument used by spacecraft to detect the position of the sun. In addition to spacecraft sun sensors find use in ground based weather stations and sun tracking systems and aerial vehicles including balloons and uavs. You now have.

Field tests of the sun finder sensors. To test motor 1 set the steps to 200 the interval to 20ms and the direction to forward. Iss dx sun sensor measures the incident angle of a sun ray in both orthogonal axes and the solar radiation. The high sensitivity reached is based on the geometrical dimensions of the design.

Sun sensors are usually classified into three types. Analog sensor whose output signal is a continuous function of sun angle. This can be as simple as some solar cells and shades or as complex as a steerable telescope depending on mission requirements. Stepperbee are simple to use.

A sun sensor is a device that senses the direction to the sun. However the main advantage of pinhole sensor is to work on two axes while the slit sensor is a sun pointing system working only in one direction. Its characteristics make it a suitable tool for high accurate sun tracking and positioning systems with low power consumption and high reliability. An earth sensor is a device that senses the direction to earth.
