Rotating my CPC scheme #130

Open mimim34 opened 2 weeks ago

mimim34 commented 2 weeks ago

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to rotate a CPC I built on Tonatiuh, but I couldn't figure out how.

Can anyone breakdown what the four numbers are (which are by default " rotation 0 0 1 0") and how I can rotate my cpc so that if faces the sun position?

Hello, four numbers define the rotation, the first three numbers are for the rotation axis definition and the last for the angle in radians.
