FAQ
1) Do you sell a dual axis tracker/can two of these be used to make a
dual axis tracker?
A: Yes, two of these, one mounted for east west, and the other mounted
for north south, can be used as a 2 axis tracker.
2) I want to use a big motor/can I use motor X/can I use actuator X?
A: The following is the capacities of my boards. Note that this is
motor STALL current, or the amount of current the motor or actuator
draws under LOAD. If you use the unloaded current to pick a tracker, it
will work, but only until you get a mechanical jam or your limit switch
breaks, then it will burn up the tracker or blow the fuse.
