I have begun to design a frame for my solar panel in order to mount my high power stepper motors in cadd. I have designed part of the frame so far, and I am still trying to design the base that connects to the solar panel. The mount is important because the high power steppers have to be connected through the mount. My vision for this problem is to have a box that contains the motors on top of the mounts that attach to the solar panel. In addition, I expect to experience a few problems with the connections to the solar panel. I will need to plan ahead to connect the motors in a way that will mitigate problems in the future.
