Your plant can navigate to the sunniest spot in the house with this sunshine seeking indoor planter. It's controlled by an Arduino Micro and driven by two continuous rotation servo motors. The planter seeks sunshine with the help of two solar panels that detect sunlight and differentiate true sunshine from indoor lighting. Two ultrasonic range detectors keep the planter from running into obstacles or falling off ledges.
