Hi Old F. I was just out in the shed trying that. I thank I have It.
The only draw back I see is if it tracks half way and then no sun to dark. It will set there until the sun catches up with it the next day. Thats better than not working at all. I may figure a way around that later. Old school Saves the day. When put on I will post it and the wiring so others like me can do it. It's not pretty but It's working. I think...
Bad luck or none at all.
