A cheap, portable solar tracker to allow off-grid power usage globally.

I've published all of the core components on Github, including the web control panel. I've also moved to the smaller 10W solar panel and I'm currently using plywood to test a new component layout. The IMU is too unreliable inside the main enclosure, so it's been moved outside. This will increase component cost from the additional enclosure, the cable glands, cable, etc. but it seems unavoidable. You may notice that the lower bracket is empty- this is where the main panels will go later- the small setup you see here is tracking setup only.
