hello,

ive seen a sun tracker for a solar panel
in a book i have

it was made with fischer technic a german plastic construction toy
frequently used toy at universitys for prototyping

the program was made in basic
it was controlled by a schneider, sinclair zxspectrum, commodore 6*/8*
acorn or msx way back in 1985

later fischer technik developed an ibm interface
the have made more interesting things
like robotic arms plotter/scanner/digitiser etc.

i think if you do a web search on fischer technic
you wil find pages about this subject
maybe there is even a news group fischer technic

the booklet i have is dutch
robot besturing met uw homecomputer (translated robot control with your
home computer)
publisher Elektuur ISBN90-70160 (first press date 1986)

hope this helped a bit
