    LM35 temperature sensor for human body temperature measurement

    Simple latex or poly-plastic compounds can be bought at medical wholesale sites for an usually affordable price if you shop around.

    which sensor will be suitable for detecting water level

    Depends on the structure of the reservoir. If it can be easily accessed, any of the previously mentioned standard sensors would do the trick but if you are looking for something more high-end for a reservoir that is difficult to read, I would suggest a remote gauge that can be linked to a...

    Solar Panels and Dark Activated Motors

    Still working on the project. All good things take time for sure.

    Solar Panels and Dark Activated Motors

    I like that idea. This way, the robot can utilize its' energy more efficiently. I was thinking about having it react whenever a panel stopped receiving as much light as the others. Another obstacle I'll face is having a small shadow (like the silhouette of a branch or its' leaves) interfering...

    Solar Panels and Dark Activated Motors

    I meant to say breadboard, haha. Autocorrect.. I suppose it would be infinitely wiser to put everything down on paper first. I already filled up my dry erase board and came to the conclusion that I'm in the information gathering stage still. This forum has done wonders for me already. I'll be...

    Solar Panels and Dark Activated Motors

    I agree. Right now, I'm brainstorming whether I should hook a sensor to each panel to monitor the amount of voltage each puts out to tell the correct motor(s) to move in the direction where the most photons are being absorbed by the panels -or- try and come up with a more customized...

    Solar Panels and Dark Activated Motors

    The project I am working on is to design a robot that will stay out of the shade (or stay in the shade, depending on the preference). For this reason, I need the design to be mobile.

    Solar Panels and Dark Activated Motors

    Thank you for the response. I'm now thinking the correct order of operation would be to build the unit first to determine how much power it needs, then match it with the correct proportion solar panels. Ultimately, I'm looking for something that is sits 4" above the ground, between 1.5'x1.5' or...

    Solar Panels and Dark Activated Motors

    Hello. I'm working on a project and could use some help. The end goal is to design a platform that responds to the solar panels surrounding it. The panel will be on motorized wheels and should move in the opposite direction of where the least light is being received (or in the direction the most...
