The weather data application receives current information from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich and prepares it for use on our website.

The weather data...

Then motor control app regulates the rotation of the solar panels according to predefined values for the time of day, allowing them to track the sun. At midnight, the solar panels are reset to their home position so they can generate power again the next

Then motor control app...

The measuring application gathers data from the Voltech PM3000A power measuring device, saves the logfiles and passes the data on to other applications.

The measuring application...

The solar-panel control system is the central control application in our live test. It processes the power data as well as the battery voltage and gives commands to the other applications. It is also responsible for creating the LED bar-diagrams.

The solar-panel control...

The solar PC control system switches the Solar-PC on and off. It calculates the battery's remaining capacity and shuts the PC down when the battery has less than 100 Wh left.

The solar PC control system...

This data gathering program tracks the voltage of the Solar-PCs battery, which we measure with the Voltcraft VC940 voltmeter. The application passes on the data to the solar-panel control system.

This data gathering program...

This command-line application governs the live cameras. The cameras move to several different positions and then take pictures. These images are then saved, scaled down, sharpened, and given a timestamp.

This command-line...

The energy output monitor checks at what times the generated power surpassed 10 watts and adds up the values for a daily total.

The energy output monitor...

The FTP upload application saves the livetest data to our webservers.

The FTP upload application...

The interface application transmits the control data for the motor and the Solar-PC to the USB circuit board.
