What Is Miniviax?
The Miniviax is small model for a sun tracking photovoltaic assembly. It is controlled by a microcontroller based circuit board. The purpose of the model is to show the features of the circuit board. The mechanics shown in the pictures were not built by me, but are a demonstration model I got hold of.Main Features.
- USB Interface
- 2 × 20 Character LCD
- Integrated real time clock and radio clock (DCF77) receiver
- Graphical Control Software for Windows and Linux
- Besides the microcontroller only few parts are needed
- Cost for circuitry is less than 20 EUR (microcontroller included)
