They can also read the TemperatureOutput2 (waste line temp in kelvin) to get the outside temperature if they wanted a standalone system without the memory component.
When working with multiple flags (RE: your ice crushers) I like just reading in the required values and assigning it to a single boolean to determine a go/no-go state. For instance, read the output pressure and read the import slot hash (to make sure the ice inserted is correct). Then compare those with "set greater/less than" to determine your "good state" and merge those with "and" to get your "On" state. You can do the same with the filters. Read the filter slots, the input ratios/pressure, the output pressure and the waste pressure. Then you can save those values to safe boolean values (filter quantity > 0, input gas ratio > 0, input pressure > 100, output pressure < 50000, output2 pressure < 50000) and set the active state of the filtration. With the safe values as booleans then you don't really need branching to jump over things. It's all very top-down procedural and easy to follow.
Another Angle Comment: Angles are relative to the direction of the sensor. For Vertical it is how far away it is from facing directly at the "face" of the sensor (meaning the blue grid). 0° would be straight up, 90° at horizon, and 180° straight down. This is only 180° not 360°, so from Sunrise it goes 90, 0 (Noon), 90 Sunset, 180 (Midnight), then goes from 180 back to 90 (never goes past 180 always a positive number). With sensor facing upwards, you subtract angle from 90 (90-angle) so that at sunrise you are writing 0 (or lowest angle of solar panel). Horizontal is also relative to how the sensor is facing. The beveled edge is the "front", and Data is the "back". Facing the sensor North (data facing South), then the compass angle of the sun (while looking at it) will match the sensor. Solar Panel's 0° Horizontal Rotation the Power port faces East (right side). So Data port on Sensor facing South, Panel Power port facing East, then the horizontal angles will match and can be set directly. (Range is -180 to 180)
You have the right understanding with respect to adding/subtracting based on how you setup the parts. The 0 vertical and 0 horizontal "spot" on the panels was the direction the panel output faced on the single output or the direction the power output faced on the dual, and if you set your sensor flat facing up with the port the same direction (output on the single version, power output on the dual version), no math was needed, assuming you used the vertical angle and horizontal angle (NOT the solar angle as that's an old more complicated method). From patch to patch, things do change, so your mileage may vary currently.
the simplest way to explain the solar is to think of it like the sensor is a person and the panels are another person so the instructions from one person are dependant on the relative position to the other person aka Einstein's theory of relativity so if you are looking one direction and telling ryan which direction to go the instruction is based on ryan's position which can be different from your position so if you are looking 0 degrees and ryan is looking 180 degrees your instruction to make him go backwards because the sun is in your face would be 0 plus 180 so every instruction from your view is always 180 degrees different from ryans
I was trying to follow along with your explanation to Sophie about the solar tracking. The way it sounded to me was, you would say one thing, and I'm like ok that makes sense, then almost immediately after you would say it again, but just a little bit different, and confuse yourself. And I'd find myself yelling at the screen "aww come on dude you're f'ing nuking it..." To explain that saying it comes from my days in the US navy, and is mostly said to very intelligent people who are essentially way OVERTHINKING something and just either confusing others or themselves or both. Just about every time in this series when you've tried to explain solar tracking, you would get it right, then as you went back over it you'd get it wrong, just because you changed how you said one little thing. The only way I've found to stop the "nuking it" problem, is to slow down, and go step by step. The catch is, the steps have to be the same every time.
Hey Justingreene, I was just about to go to bed when Sophie told me to read your comment as it made her laugh. I've never heard the phrase "Nuking it" before but I do agree. I wouldn't say I'm intelligent but I do definitely overthink things. As I type this, my wife is now asking me questions about how it works and yeah.... LOL.
It must just be common practice over the pond, I’ve been in a relationship 15 years and… well mine is nice to me. even when she’s upset it’s never directed at me. I get a lot of it’s probably fun, some of it’s probably cultural, but you’ll catch more flies with honey. If the interactions between the two of you were more positive you’ll have a broader audience, not to mention it’s a good habit to fall into.
Hey, We're good. It's all fun at the end of the day. I don't know if it's a cultural thing but we're both happy and after, we usually have a laugh at and with each other. I don't know whether people like the dynamic or whether it should be more positive but this is us and it's up to everyone else whether they want to take it or leave it. At the end of the day, we love each other and we make sure we tell each other. That's all that matters :)
To (hopefully) easily remember the fuel ratio, think of water.
H20
Hydrogen 2... 2/3 volatiles (67%)
Oxygen 1... 1/3 oxygen (33%)
1:07:00 You don't need to batch read from the tank. You can read the PressureOutput on the Filtration device. (aka DB)
They can also read the TemperatureOutput2 (waste line temp in kelvin) to get the outside temperature if they wanted a standalone system without the memory component.

Nice tip. Thank you :)
Paint your backpacks/belts to make clear which one is the ice one.

This comment has helped a lot. Thank you!

Hey thanks for this,
Sophie is going to test what you've put as she wants to fully understand it. I just want to go to bed but she wont let me :D
0 is straight up for the sun and for the panels zero is pointing to the horizon that is why sub 90 is needed
Hey Brainsquashed,
Your UA-cam name is how I feel when the wife asks me a question :D
For A fuel mix you can use logic switch for advanced furnaces
the simplest way to explain the solar is to think of it like the sensor is a person and the panels are another person so the instructions from one person are dependant on the relative position to the other person aka Einstein's theory of relativity so if you are looking one direction and telling ryan which direction to go the instruction is based on ryan's position which can be different from your position so if you are looking 0 degrees and ryan is looking 180 degrees your instruction to make him go backwards because the sun is in your face would be 0 plus 180 so every instruction from your view is always 180 degrees different from ryans
i use solar angle for vertical and the other one need to be adjusted depending on your sensor orientation.
Hey,
Thanks for this. Yeah it's not a difficult thing to do but I'm just simple and the wife wants to understand every little thing.
