    Hi do you have the schematics and the code for that project?
    If you can hook me up that would be great.
    Cheers

    Amazing, does it turn through a motor ? and if so what kind of motor do you use for such rotation.

    Do you need a servo shield with that, or is the arduino working on its own? It seems to me that it could be made with only two photoresistors, but what do I know? Like everyone else, I’m interested in code and wiring! Thanks for posting this!

    Slick. You mention …
    Slick. You mention ‘wired in parallel’ but it would be nice to have the schematics of the transistor board.
