Home brew single axis tracker link

 Awhile back, someone posted a link that showed how he had built his
own single axis tracker, similar to the following pictures.  I think
he said he built his version for about $500.:

Anyone know what I'm referring to?  I'd really like to look over that
info again.

  Hi Brent;


That's me.
Try:
http://www.redrok.com/electron.htm#traxle
This is probably the solar track. It costs $35us.

I don't remember the cost of $500.
Most do it for considerably less.

No, no.  I was just referring to your pics to better explain the style
of mount I was talking about.  IIRC, his site had scans of hand-drawn
schematics of his mount, so anyone could build.  You don't really have
anything like that on your site (full construction drawings.)

I've done a million google searches, and I still can't find the site,
or his message. :(  I thought I had saved the original message, but I
can't seem to find it.

 I have designed a tracker for my boat it costs $ 500> I have 6 of them
they are mechanically perfect but I have some reliability issues with
the sensor. The unit I have can rotate trough 360 degrees that was
needed because boats go in any direction.

 Are you familiar with satellite dish trackers?  There are many projects
built around their (well developed) hardware.  With the advent of
pizza-plate dishes many people have abandoned ten foot dishes to give away.
