This thesis deals with the subject of a two axis rotatable solar panel rig where
the design for the electrical components are proposed and the controller code
from previous theses are further developed. The rig is to be used for research
by UiT Narvik and the prerequisites for the installation of the rig are designed
in this thesis. The electrical components for the rig proposed are an H-bridge, a
power measurement circuit board, and a connection matrix. In addition to the
electrical components the code for the controller were changed and a bracket for
the induction sensors were designed. The H-bridge was designed, tested and the
results obtained were satisfactory. The power supply for the H-bridge which in
turn supplies power to the motors were found to be inadequate for its intended
purpose with a few possible solutions proposed. The power measurement circuit
board was designed, tested and the results obtained during testing were good in
regards to accuracy and temperature. The connection matrix was designed but
not made or tested. The safety of the design was discussed and a few alternatives
were brought up. Positions for the inductions sensors were found and a bracket
was designed to hold it. The bracket was not tested but is believed to work
as long as the sensors are placed correctly in relation to geographical north.
The controller code was further developed but it was not tested extensively in
combination with all the other components. Due to the code being developed by
multiple people and documentation being vague, the code should be rewritten
either partly or fully in addition to further testing.
