I have an old bs1 I'd like to use for a simple two axis tracker for my solar panels(15wx4). One example I've been looking at is the two axis sun tracker project that was in Nuts&Volts Aug 2007 p57, but it uses a pic18f876. The other thing is the cds sensors are wired differently from any of the boe-bot examples(chapter 6 light sensitive navagation with photo resisters) that I've have seen so far. Which one would work the best for a bs1?
I'd like to keep the control for controlling servos since I have a couple of unused rc speed controllers.

Note #7 (around page 103) discusses using a BS1 to read a thermistor. Cadmium Sulfide light detectors are similar and can be handled the same.
