The daylight sensor reports whether the sun hits the large grid the sensor is in, as well as the solar angle. Looking at the sensor will provide a tool-tip readout of this information, even when not connected to the network. The orientation of the daylight sensor is important, it will read different angle values depending on the orientation.

 +
== Modes ==
 +
In default mode, the sensor will return the absolute value of the angle formed by the source of light and the normal vector of the sensor (towards which the grey/green part is facing). 0 means the source of light is facing to the sensor, 90 means it is aligned with the surface the sensor was laid on, and 180 means the source of light is in the back of the sensor. The angle is always a positive value between 0 and 180.
 +
 
 +
[[File:Daylight sensor horizontal.png|200x150px|thumb|daylight sensor in horizontal mode]]
 +
In horizontal mode, the sensor returns the angle from the position of the source of light parallel to the surface of the sensor. The angle can be negative, ranging between -180 and +180.
  
The daylight sensor reports whether the sun hits the large grid the sensor is in, as well as the solar angle (relative to the normal axis of the sensor; the direction perpendicular to the sensor's face). Looking at the sensor will provide a tool-tip readout of this information. The sensor turns green when sunny.
+
[[File:Daylight sensor vertical.png|200x150px|thumb|daylight sensor in vertical mode]]
 +
In vertical mode, the sensor measures the angle from the position of the light source perpendicular to the surface of the sensor.
  
The daylight sensor now has a mode property which can be set with logic writer and memory chip, 0 = default (same as vertical), 1 = horizontal, 2 = vertical. Other values will throw an index-out-of-range error in console if you mouse-over the sensor.

The orientation of the daylight sensor is important, it will read different angle values depending on the orientation. Placing a sensor on a wall towards sunrise (East) will always result in a linear increasing 0-180 angle output thru the day, and decreasing 180-0 angle thru the night. This can be utilized as a daytime sensor, for alarm or clock functions.
 
  
Placing a sensor (default/vertical mode) on the 'floor' (any direction) will report the angular difference from zenith (straight up) towards the sun. 90 subtracted by this value will convert this into an angle of horizon/altitude.
 
  
Placing a sensor (horizontal mode 1) on the 'floor' will report the angular difference from a fixed horizon point, depending on orientation, towards the actual azimuth of the sun. This value will decrease thru the day. But a properly tracking panel requires increasing values (opposite direction of rotation). You must take some multiple of 90 degrees, depending on solar panel orientation, and subtract this horizontal angle to get a proper azimuth angle towards the sun, for feeding to solar panel tracking.
+
=== Notes ===
  
Alternatively, placing a (horizontal) sensor on the ceiling (aka upside-down) will result in the correct rotation of values. Rotate the sensor power wire 90 degrees clockwise from the direction of the solar panel's power port. (N-> E, E->S, S->W, W->N)
+
Solar panel work using clockwise reference angles, which means depending of the situation you may have to invert the values returned by sensors' horizontal or vertical modes.
  
The sensor always reports an angle to a logic reader at all times, but the tooltip will not display the angle if the sensor does not have sunlight.

Description[edit]

Sensors are used to detect different conditions of the world. They can be read by the Logic Computers as well as used when correctly configured by some devices, such as a Console with a Circuitboard (Airlock Control).


Daylight Sensor[edit]

The daylight sensor reports whether the sun hits the large grid the sensor is in, as well as the solar angle. Looking at the sensor will provide a tool-tip readout of this information, even when not connected to the network. The orientation of the daylight sensor is important, it will read different angle values depending on the orientation.

Update: While the Mode and SolarAngle properties described below are still available, they are being deprecated in favor of Horizontal and Vertical data properties, returning the same as their Mode counterparts.

The daylight sensor has a Mode property which can be set with logic writer and memory chip, 0 = default, 1 = horizontal, 2 = vertical. Other values will throw an index-out-of-range error in console if you mouse-over the sensor. Each mode defines a specific behavior for how the solar angle is calculated.

Modes[edit]

In default mode, the sensor will return the absolute value of the angle formed by the source of light and the normal vector of the sensor (towards which the grey/green part is facing). 0 means the source of light is facing to the sensor, 90 means it is aligned with the surface the sensor was laid on, and 180 means the source of light is in the back of the sensor. The angle is always a positive value between 0 and 180.

daylight sensor in horizontal mode

In horizontal mode, the sensor returns the angle from the position of the source of light parallel to the surface of the sensor. The angle can be negative, ranging between -180 and +180.

daylight sensor in vertical mode

In vertical mode, the sensor measures the angle from the position of the light source perpendicular to the surface of the sensor.


Notes[edit]

Solar panel work using clockwise reference angles, which means depending of the situation you may have to invert the values returned by sensors' horizontal or vertical modes.

The sensor always reports an angle to a logic reader at all times.

See https://stationeers-wiki.com/Solar_Logic_Circuits_Guide for more solar panel logic discussion.

Examples[edit]

On the moon/space :

  • If the daylight sensor is fixed on the floor, it will report 90 degrees at sunrise, up to 0 degrees at noon, back to 90 degrees at sunset, to 180 degrees at midnight, and back to 90 at sunrise.
  • If fixed on a ceiling the cycle will be opposite, i.e.: 90 -> 180 -> 90 -> 0 -> 90.
  • If fixed to an east facing wall, the cycle from sunrise is: 0 -> 90 -> 180 -> 90 -> 0.
  • If fixed to a west facing wall, the cycle is opposite, i.e.: 180 -> 90 -> 0 -> 90 -> 180.
  • If fixed to a north or south facing wall it will stay at 90 degrees all the time.

Other :

  • If you lay a sensor on the ground, facing upwards, connector towards south,configured in horizontal mode, it will work like a compass with 0 = north, 90 = east, 180 = south and -90 = west
