Does this still work?
IC can do batch writing now, so I assume it's at least least somewhat outdated.

Is this still working now?

it stop working right after a while when the sun would go over the solar panels

Just wanted to say a big thank you for this script, the old way I did things on the moon didn't work on mars, but your script works perfectly :)

Sorry for the delay in replying, not played in a while. Just started a fresh game and set this up to test and everything is working fine.

Make sure you have all the pins set properly on the IC Housing. Those errors are saying they are either not set or are set wrong.

@DirtyRat
hello ic code does not work, do you have another one? default line 8, 11, 12, 16 and 17

How do you place the sensors floating in the air like in the screenshot? I've always had to place them on walls

Hi I am getting an Unkown at line 11

is this code outdated too

Firstly you are correct. For soemthing like simple solar tracking you don't save much power compared to some other systems where you can replace 50+ logic chips. You can however add more code into the IC, like power saving etc. without having to add more chips.

Secondly, if you are only using 1 sensor on any planet other than the moon then you are wasting power because Mars and Europa have ecliptic orbits so you have to track vertical and horizontal

I don't see what the advantage is of using this system over the logic system I already have in play. My current system uses a logic reader, batch writer, two maths chips, two memory and one sensor. This system simply replaces my two maths chips with an IC chip and an extra sensor. This isn't a criticism, I am just trying to understand if there is an advantage of this system over the one I currently have.

That was quick, thank you. My solar panels had gone crazy

There is a bug with aliases in IC on current version that probably won't be fixed for a few days. I have updated the code so that it will now work but you will have to open your code library in the editor and overwrite and export the code again.

seems to not work properly with the new update :/

A good script and an easy way to lay it out, but might I suggest that in line 14 the div number be 1.7 instead of 1.5? Through some trial-and-error I seem to get a greater level of efficiency to my angled panels on Mars, though haven't tried it on Europa yet so I may have to eat my words a little bit later.

@DirtyRat Thanks

@runHarder Place the frame above where you want to place the sensor and fully weld it. Now put the sensor in place on the bottom of the frame and place the 3 way wire into it.

Now remove the frame and the sensor will stay in place. Now just put the frame below the sensor and place the other sensor.

How do you get the sensors to float like that?

Thank you, works great, and also thank you for taking the time to show a setup pic and provide some setup info, this helped greatly. Others should take note ;)

Nice setup and easy to use guide. Works great. Wish the other people publishing IC scripts would take your lead and at least describe what theirs does and what is needed to set theirs up. So far you're the only one that does this. Thanks again for the amazing work.

I added a quick guide in the discussions here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1517633472/1735465524705571551/
