SunOyster - Solar Energy Control System: PV Sensor, Anemometer Integration

The innovative control system of the SunOyster is an own development and based on the Raspberry Pi micro-controller. A PV sensor tells the SunOyster when it is sunny enough to open. An anemometer warns of wind speeds exceeding 50 km/h to close the mirrors. The control system is the `brain` of the SunOyster: It tells the drives the position of the sun, opens and closes the mirrors and ensures at all times a safe operation of the SunOyster. It is equipped with a safety battery so that the mirrors can also be closed if there should be a black-out of the electricity grid.
