Following steps are required:<br>1. Camara to find and save location of focal point (could be a frying pan or stirling engine). This will be a set position.<br>2. Next step to locate the centre of the sun and constantly updates the coordinates. (solar movement along the sky)<br>3. constantly calculate angle between focal point and sun centre and position the mirrors and 1/2 the angle. (This will direct the sun beam to the focal point)<br><br>Is this programmable?<br><br>I want to contol a number of units to generate sufficient heat. Each unit works with a camera to perform the required task individually. Can the software cope with several units running in parallel?<br><br>Will use roborealm with a trossen robotics pan tilt unit. Could this be a feasable project? <br><br>I'm a power engineer and not much involved in programming etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some support will be highly appreciated. http://www.roborealm.com/forum/index.php?thread_id=3902 http://www.roborealm.com/forum/index.php?thread_id=3902 Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:11:00 EST
