 ===== Wiring the tracker =====
+My main piece of advice is to download and read the datasheets for all your components before you start wiring things up.  They contain vital information about voltage/current requirements and what pin is used for what.  As with most hobby projects, I started with an empty breadboard and my first job was to get the Arduino microprocessor onto the breadboard.  I soldered 2 strips of header pins onto the Arduino board and pushed it into my breadboard.  I then connected the FTDI breakout board to the Arduino to allow me to connect my laptop via USB.
