| − | ==General behaviour==
| |
| − | *5kW is the maximum PowerPotential that can be transmitted, this amount is reduced by distance.
| |
| − | *Unaffected by storms.
| |
| − | *Using two emitters on the same receiver doesn't appear to work
| |
| − | *A Logic Transmitter can mirror receivers, but not emitters.
| |
| − | *The coordinates of these devices will change slightly when the head moves.
| |
| − | *Both structures and terrain will block the beam. Once a beam is formed it will no longer be blocked by building things between them.
| |
| − | *When these devices are built their placement rotation is important. The easiest way is to point the data-port to the north (0° on the space suit compass), otherwise a horizontal correction angle must be added or subtracted when doing the math.
| |
| − | *When the device head is being rotated horizontally it is rotating in the opposite of the expected direction, this must be compensated for when doing the math.

| − | ==Alignment formulas==
| |
| − | All dataports points north, the delta values are calculated from: "receiver coordinate" - "emitter coordinate"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Horizontal for "emitter" = atan2( delta-x / delta-z ) * 180 / pi
| |
| − | <br>Vertical for "emitter" = 90 + atan( delta-y / sqrt( (delta-z)^2 + (delta-x)^2 ) ) * 180 / pi
| |
| − | | |
| − | Horizontal for "receiver" = 180 + Horizontal for "emitter"
| |
| − | <br>Vertical for "receiver" = 180 - Vertical for "emitter"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Comments:
| |
| − | <br>When the data-port points north, +0° is added to the Horizontal rotation.
| |
| − | <br>When the Vertical rotation is 90° the device head points towards the horizon, 90° must be added because when delta-y is 0 (no height difference) then atan() will be 0
| |
| − | <br>Both atan2() and atan() uses radians for the angle, radians are converted to degrees by multiplying with 180 / pi
| |
| − | <br>atan2(x/z) should be z/x in a normal situation, but it has been inverted to compensate for the devices inverted rotation direction
| |
| − | <br>atan(y/x) uses Pythagoras theorem to set x as the horizontal-plane distance between emitter and receiver
