The same strategy has been successfully used insoftware industry and is called “modular programming”, by which a complicated programmingassignment is divided into small, manageable procedures6. To use the MPS effectively, threerequirements have to be ensured5. Firstly, a main procedure always needs to be created tocoordinate and integrate the work of all individual procedures. Secondly, all the sub-proceduresonly communicate with their direct superior procedures. Thirdly, any “cross-talk” among thesub-procedures at the same level is not allowed.

Port B, RB0 is configured as the interrupt from the RF module and RB7 isthe interrupt for the RTC. The RTC is used to time stamp all data prior to being stored to theEEPROM. The sensor stations are constructed identically except for the difference in addressassignments. The RF and SPI communication in the Master is the same as the Slaves except PortB is used for the matrix keypad and LCD interface is made through a 74164 shift register to thesame SPI bus. There is no interrupt (INT) algorithm implemented in the Master station

critically dependent on the orientation of the solar panel.The solar energy collection is very inefficient in stationary panels. The efficiency of solar energycollection in photovoltaic solar panels at any location can be optimized when the panel a) faces thesun and b) continuously tracks the sun during the day in one or two axis. This tracking can be con-trolled in a feed forward or feedback controlled manner. The later has obvious advantages. LipingGuo et. Al, [1] have used a feedback controlled one-axis mechanism that compares voltages fromtwo small solar cells mounted on a big solar panel assembly and activates a stepper motor to adjustthe east-west alignment.
