Two axis solar tracker

Description
Controls ANY type 2 axis solar panel. Install Daylight sensor on ground, solar panel power ports must all face same direction with daylight sensor port, don't care which way.​ Now with night time repositioning for sunrise alignment.

Self aligning, self configurating, and no pins to set. Just install with ports in correct positions and it just works.

For a chip version of this layout, see this screenshot. (chip version does not reposition for night)

I just fired this up to double check and it's still working fine for me. You playing in the Beta branch or something? Also be sure you've only got one Solar Sensor on that network branch.

Thanks, I created a sleep delay as well... I think I set mine to 30 seconds. Its really important to collect ALL the sunlight when you have mods that change the power you get from the sun via its radiance value. I get only 15 from a solar panel with 98% efficiency.

Updated with a little delay to collect those twilight rays.

A little nit picky but, its not optimized for the setting sun. It resets to start position too soon. Solar panels are still collecting juice and then they turn away.

@Dreiden
Just built a fresh new grid & tried on an old map, works fine in both. Get a screen shot and share a link, best to post in the Forums and I'll see it and respond there with anything I see awry.

Be sure you only have "one" daylight sensor on that network, if you have more than one then you may be getting mixed input values that'll mess with the alignment.

Doesn't work, panels point no where near the sun. Even with the power port aligned with the data port of the sensor.

Great, everything works

Just updated this with a night time repositioning routine that won't get fooled by eclipses and should easily handle Seasons if they should be introduced.
