Yup, having the great-constant 13.6vdc for the tracker and the actuator really makes things smooth here. The box where I have the board is my combiner/tracker board house. For once, when I was putting the system together, I thought about alot of junk and the outcome was pretty good IMHO. I was gonna try and just use one of the little 5w panels to run the tracker board and then thought if I needed to move this thing in the middle of the night, no-can-dooooo, so, this is what I came up with. The next one will be even better yet (LOL)
I don't think 13.6vdc is to much for the board (LM339/relays) cuz it has a pretty good fudge-factor built into it. I like having the 13.6vdc for the actuator motor (24vdc) because it runs soooooooooooooooo slow (just have relay chatter a bit), definitely won't overrun the target at that speed LOL........Bill
