Or just put up a big black board with reference points on it, and point a camera at that?
- usrusr 2y agoSo then you have a live image of a big black board? The beauty of the misalignment patrol drone is that it does not leave you guessing wich one exactly of your large number of inexpensive mirrors is out of line. The culprit clearly lights up in the video feed.
- fl7305 2y agoYou normally keep all mirrors pointed at the real target. Then take one at a time and point it at the black board off to the side. You can then use the camera image of the position of the sun spot on the black board to figure out your new calibration settings for this particular mirror.
