Dear all,

Here anyone implemented code for solar tracker. If yes please let me know links for calculating back track algorithm or shadowing principle.

Waiting for the reply...

I think it's safe to assume the answer is "no" :(

I have had a look around myself, and it beats even my google-fu. There's plenty of technical papers full of mathematics, but nothing with any recognisable code in it. Everything else is just information about products that do backtracking...

You may be better off asking on specific solar power forums (though I have seen people asking on those and had no answer), as the chipKIT is just programmed in C/C++, so anything you get in C can easily be adapted.

If you do find anything anywhere we'd be more than willing to help you get it working on the chipKIT.

Whether you get code for calculating back tracking. Can you share or mail me the technical links ajit.nayak87@gmail.com

My maths is incredibly rusty (it comes with age), so I can't make much sense of this, but this paper should give you the formulae you need - you just need to be able to convert it into code, and as I don't have time to re-learn all my maths I can't do that :P
