    The document describes a modular system of rotating panels that react to light by tracking the sun during the day and lighting up with LEDs at night. The system uses light sensors, microprocessors, servos and other electronic components to control the movement and lighting of each panel based on light values. Diagrams show the technical composition and electronic components of an individual panel prototype, as well as construction details and a final panel assembly that mimics the movement of solar tracking devices in nature.

    GENERAL BEHAVIOUR OF SYSTEM.


    Modular system composed of rotating panels attached together, reacting
    to a light source (SUN). When the light sensors perceives light values
    above a certain value, they send a signal to the node which in turns com-
    mands the servo to rotate. This behaviour will recreate a solar tracking
    device, where each panel will react in the same degree and speed.
    When the light sensed is less than X, the node will turn on a LED strip,
    making the panel light up, becoming a light source as well as a data visu-
    alization technique.
