Rotate based on sensor

Using Arduino Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC
1

Hey guys, i am quite new to arduino
I am current working on a project on a rotating wind mill
It is to rotate based on a wind vane as a sensor
Wherever the wind vane points, it should rotate the wind turbine on to that direction too

How do i go about doing this?

IF you are quite new to the Arduino, why not start with one of the Arduino kits that are available, then you will have a better idea of the sensors and devices that might help with your project.

There are lots of wind vanes with quite a few ways of indicating wind direction. And there are lots of wind turbines of various designs. Something to study! Then there is the power necessary to actually turn a wind turbine into the wind and keep it there. Depending on the design and size, it could take one or more horsepower motor to continually move the thing. Something else to study!

Good luck.

In other words you need to servo the turbine to the sensor vane heading. So you'll need to construct some sort of servo arrangement to drive the turbine heading system.

Without more details there's no more detailed answer that can be given really...
