Activity: Build a Solar Panel Tracker

1. Use a light sensor and a servo motor. Program the micro:bit to rotate the solar
panel using the servo, ensuring it always faces the brightest light.

How to complete the lab:

1. Connect the light sensor to the micro:bit.
2. Attach the servo motor to a small solar panel.

3. Program the micro:bit to rotate the panel based on the sensor data. When
the light shifts, the panel should rotate to follow the light. This system helps

increase solar energy efficiency by tracking the sun.
