Integration of an Apple II Plus Computer into an Existing Dual Axis Sun Tracker System.

Abstract

This thesis describes the integration of an Apple II Plus computer into an existing sun tracking system. The Apple Computer replaced an Intel 80/10A single board computer as the system controller. Software development and hardwiring were necessary to successfully integrate the new computer into the system. With the new computer installed user interaction with the tracking system became possible. Additionally, it was possible to replace hard-to-interpret assembly language code with higher level BASIC code as the system controlling software.
