    7:30 that's a MUCH MUCH better explanation than all the "have the data port face north/east" that is usually said for these setups

    For those of you who are having difficulty getting this IC code to work, the solution is in line 10. He meant to put a "sub" instead of an "sb" - line 10 should read: "sub r0 90 r0"
    This will fix the issue and allow the IC to work properly.
    Thanks to Cows for this, really helpful!

    Thanks for this! I keep finding the old out of date information when I search for the solar tracking logic! So frustrating!! The old subtract 75, divide by 1.5 doesn't work anymore and I've been pulling my hair out trying to get my solar tracking to work accurately. I've got probably a hundred plus basic non-tracking panels out because I couldn't be bothered to setup tracking due to my old scripts and the old logic chip designs not working. Hopefully this will help with reducing my in game lag issues!

    "Throw 'em out! Start again!" *__* Just fix the math in the script. No need to rewrite from scratch.
    I just came back to Stationeers after a couple years and didn't even know this had happened, but quickly discovered it, tested, found the problem, more testing, fixed the math, more testing, discovered that in addition to that face-up daylight sensors don't need to have their horizontal angle negated anymore, so my panels were turning the wrong direction, fixed that too, changed the way the script works to not bother switching the deprecated sensor mode since both angles are simultaneously accessible now, more testing, and it all seems to work right. Of course, my script is _slightly_ more complicated than what you've written here... ;)

    It much more simpler to build two types of logic.
    Instead of reading horz and vert value from same sensor, you could split it.
    So, vert alignment = 1x sensor, 1x logic reader, 1x batch writer, with sensor facing front and
    horz alignment = 1 sensor, 1 logic reader, 1x batch writer, with sensor facing up.
    No math involved.

      Did you try it?
      I also thing, that this sould work, but when you change horizontal, maybe the whole panel will turn around, so now you vertical aligment will be wrong?
      i have to try it. If that works, it is much more conviniet, also it will solve my problem with power (I am starting brutal vulcan, and I cannot use big battery and PC just for solar tracking).

    This panel can put out close to 100 watts ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.

    • @boris3320
      @boris3320 2 года назад +1

      Edit: No you can't. Since the solar panel rotated to match the horizontal angle, they're no longer aligned with the vertical sensor. The vertical sensor would have to rotate the same amount horizontally to give a reading that can be applied as is to the panels.

    • @cowsareevil7514
      @cowsareevil7514  2 года назад +1

      You need the vertical to from 0 to 90 and then back down again so you will always need the math for the 90-sensor calculation. If there is a simpler setup I have not seen it.

    • @narc0tiq
      @narc0tiq 2 года назад +1

      It won't actually work if you try that:
      - the 1-axis tracking has the panels going from 0 to 180 in vertical, but
      - in 2-axis tracking they go 0 to 90 and then back down to 0.
      So Mick's 6-chip solution is probably the cleanest you can get 2-axis tracking (and it's pretty clean, tbh).

    Could you use two daylight sensors, one to track vertical, one to track horizontal, and just use the two logic for both sensors? I'm not sure it would make a huge difference, but could simplify things a bit. Just asking because I am curious about that.

  • @SpaceRak

    for me, absolutely nothing works, I tried exactly as you showed and the only reaction of the panels is to set it to horizontal 360 and vertical 15 after turning the panels, vertical is on the second maximum. then I tried to overwrite horizontal to 90 and the writer can either overwrite one panel or try to overwrite itself. I have the panels set horizontally 90 to the east

    Wouldn't the setup have been simplier if you had kept the vertical setup with the sensor unmoved, then add a new daylight sensor and the 2 chips to move the panels in the Horizontal? So in total you have 2 logic Readers, 2 batch writers and 2 daylight sensors, no complicated math, no memory chips, just place the two daylight sensors in the right orientation and use the readings.

    This game can be so frustrating. I've just set this up exactly as shown. Every knob turned and set and powered and wired. and the panels do nothing. network checks out, everything should be working but it doesn't move at all. I've had other things just stop functioning for no reason. I had my air lock doors, without me touch touching it at all, switched my internal and external doors. I've had a furnace that won't vent no matter what i did, and finally had to dismatle it, and fully expected it to explode when I did(still very hot). Some of the time, i can't tell if it's a bug or something i'm doing wrong. Oh yea, Martian storms, insta -pop on you. That's always fun in the middle of trying to troubleshoot something. I know there is a weather station, but tell me you won't see a monster dust storm coming for miles away. It's dumb.

      It is working, I just put new reinforced solar panels up today. Are you playing on Steam or your own/or another server? Steam always works so far.
      Important is, what planet are you on and where your sun rise at the horizon? Then just try it with vertical tracking only. This should anyhow be just fine when you are on Mars. Horizontal tracking is not so much needed there. Make sure your daylight sensor faces sun rise.
      There your panels memory chip has to be setup and set the right degree. Look in the youtube how the solar panels are set. what direction power is, what direction the green comunacation port. Then your panels are aligned as well. When you connect all the same way and you switch on the chips, the led on the chip lits up green. Then your stuff is working and your panels should start to align. They tick and align very slow, but they do almost every 3 Seconds or so and go with the sun, even the sun is not all the way up.

    I just like to use programming do my solar tracking. Sure these logic setups are much simpler and easier to understand, but they take up quite a lot of real estate on the floor/walls. So if you have some coding experience, it would have a lot of material and space savings. Sure you would still need to build up a computer but once you understand the syntax, you can fix up a program that does everything. And then you can use that computer for coding any other IC program scripts, soooo...why not?

    This video is for experienced players. As for me, being novice player in Stationeer, nothing is clear as you do everything way too fast.

    I think what galled the majority of people, is that they made no attempt to warn their customer base of the coming change. For me, that tells me that the programmers are in charge there, and they have no project managers. Customer disservice at its finest.
