Overview
The IR Tracker is a device that can detect the position of an infrared emitter, and orient itself to be in line with the emitter.
The goal of the project was to:
This is how it works:
We will discuss:
Mechanical Design
The primary components used in this device are:
- Plexiglas structure
- Turntable (part #, vendor, cost, when available)
- Mirror (part #, vendor, cost, when available)
Electrical Design
The primary components used in this circuit are:
- Controller (PIC)

Code
Results
Our resulting project:
Reflections
If we were to redo our project:
- take more time planning - redid several times
- mechanical design - more efficient
- code - simpler
