Eclipse Sun Tracking

The PCB, "Patriarchy Crusher," leverages the HONEY architecture to control H-Bridge motor driver ICs. The motor driver board controls motors for the sun tracking project (Project Sol). Project Sol reads orientation data from an IMU, the BNO055, and compares the heading to the sun's expected Azimuth. Based on the difference between the Azimuth angle and the heading angle, the teensy on Patriarchy Crusher commands the HBridge driver to turn the motor clockwise or counterclockwise. The end effect is that the GoPro is rotated to face the sun and can thus take pictures of the eclipse.
