Friends:

I will ratify what Jay says below.  Unfortunately, in my experience the
controllers are a bit too fragile and I have needed tech support too often.
I suspect your controller is failing.  Wattsun will likely fix it for free,
you just have to provide the removal, shipping and reinstallation.

Hi Jesse

I've always found the tech support at Array tech to be really good I'd call
them.

run of a battery bank that is charged through an outback inverters
connection to the grid. So the battery voltage is always at 24V. The tracker
will run fine for a couple days then it will get stuck in the east facing
direction. I can make it track by switching the control box to "Manual
Control Mode" and then moving the array in any direction for a second or two
and then switching it back to "Automatic Control Mode". It will then track
for a couple days and get stuck in the east direction again.

east direction and it seems like to sensor is fine because it tracks after I
use the steps I described above to move it.
