This kit lets you build a smart two-axis light tracker that continuously orients a small solar panel (or grow light) toward the brightest source, using four LDR sensors, two servo motors, and an Arduino Uno. It’s a practical lesson in solar tracking — the same principle used in spacecraft and solar farms — applied to your own windowsill garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA compact, self-correcting tracking system that reads light intensity from four directions (N, S, E, W), compares them, and smoothly moves the panel to the brightest spot.
