Last week I got this current version of the RedRok Tracker from a board member who wishes to remain anonymous.
I made some time ducking in and out of the AC to install it in the common peanut butter jar setup.
Shown below:
This version seems to have fixed the hunting problem.
It very accurately tracks the brightest patch of sky. Early and late here I have large trees that obstruct direct sun and it will often be pointing to the middle of the open sky until the sun clears the pine tree in the AM but as soon as it clears the tree it tracks back to the sun itself. In the evening it kind of stops tracking at the top of the treeline until dusk when it tracks back to the east. It only runs for a second or so each adjustment so it takes awhile to park.
I guess this is my official retraction of my "RedRok sucks" comments made previously.
Yeah, things change. I just change slower than most
Sorry for the poor photos but it was tracked on the high noon side of things so the angle is poor. Maybe get some early AM shots tomorrow with a better angle.
The wiring is temporary while I assure myself it will work properly after that I will install an outdoor box to bring the cables together in.
