About 3 days a years during stormy winter weather in the AM the
Tracker will not find the sun unless it is bright.
I would like to add a manual west switch. Looks like the sensor needs
a switch between 2 of the 4 leads. Anyone have anymore info on this.
Thanx !

There are a few ways to do it. The most common is probably 2 DPDT
switches with center-off position. Power comes in to one side of E-W
switch, other side is opposite polarity. Center output goes to one
side of the manual-auto switch, other side is power. Center goes to
motor. To use - select manual or auto. If manual, select E or W.
Here's a slightly different setup (top schematic) from Duane Johnson's
site. Works much the same except that the reversing switch must always
be in E or W position http://www.redrok.com/images/led3xmanual.gif .
I'm testing one of Duane's LED controllers right now.
