Solar panel tilting mechanism 2
Rotate the orange handle to adjust the tilt angle of the blue solar panel. The adjustment is necessary because the sun's orbit in the sky changes with the seasons. The first scene of the video illustrates this adjustment.
The blue worm receives motion from the brown motor to rotate the blue solar panel. This rotation is programmed to track the sun’s position during the day. The three last scenes of the videos illustrate this rotation.
As the pink beam rotates, the blue worm wheel will roll over the motionless blue worm, so the solar panel rotates slightly around its axis of rotation (in blue).
That small rotation has to be considered during programming for the brown motor.
