Just an small improvement on my servo solar tracker. This one uses a small geared DC Motor for lower speeds and reduced power draw. In order to reduce power draw, this tracker also has a narrow pulse generator with a ~1% duty cycle that enables the DC motor for brief periods of time (instead of just letting it run constantly, which would waste power). The circuit seems to draw an average current (including the spikes when the DC Motor is running) of about 1-2 mA

Nice! What app are you using to control it?
What is the simulator program in the first part of the video?
