Sure, I'll post a review. That's part of the deal. Experiments don't mean much, if people can't read the results.
Right now, the final results aren't in yet on the MTM board. But, it's not looking so good.

I've seen a lot of trackers using Red Rock boards, so there is a good chance, that
I'm going to get a trouble free tracker going..

I didn't actually contact Duane, I just put a message in with the PayPal payment.
If he's going to build it, I want the LEDs pointing upwards, instead off the end of the PCB.
I told him if it's pre-built, no problemo, I can move the LEDs around myself.

I want to stick the whole board inside my little water-resistant tracker module..
And, I think it will fit best if it's mounted flat. PCB Parallel to the glass.
I'll cover about 86% of the glass with mirror tape, to keep it cool..

In theory, it should work. If Murphy don't come around...

Cheers,
Rich

PS:
I picked up a DC amps probe today. Should be good for checking the amps my actuator motor is drawing.
