System scripts have been installed, some with timers. A new script, actuator.py, has been written along with a service and timer. These combined with data collector script edits, plpace operation between 6:00AM and 6:00PM, daily, The edits in conjunction with the actuator script run the linear actuator three times each day. Two extensions, one at noon and one at 3:00PM, follow the position of the sun. The third is a retraction that restores the array to the sunrise position for the next day.
The script for the sensor needs to be written. The sensor needs to be accompanied by another, stationary sensor. The stationary sensor can be used as a reference for the sun path.
