    A non-optical sensor based solution would require other sensors to calculate the relative position of the solar cooker oriented to Earth as well as calculate the elevation. Your solution is turnkey that you just slap down and it does everything needed without external input beyond solar radiance.

    Also, a whole bunch of your approach has many other applications with only very minor tweaks. I like what you did.

      Yeah, it’s like making a car self-driving without GPS. it’s not dependent on external input that way. If you can make it work by only using cameras and lidar, that’s fantastic work and definitely deserves credit.
