For a small project, I'm building a solar tracker that will be rotated by a DC motor and two gears based on my drawing for it.
The only issue I'm having is, figuring out where can I buy 2 gears with 1.5" diameter, with a lot of teeth. My panel only weights 2.2lbs
The next issue is, finding a decent "small" DC motor that will allow the gear to be attached to the rode (the small metal cylinder part that sticks out of the motor).
I've been searching Google like a mad man but can't seem to figure out how to match the two...either the gear is too small, or the gear doesn't look like it's made for the motor I picked..etc.
Any help is appreciated thanks!
