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

= Daylight Sensor =

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 <kbd>Mode</kbd> and <kbd>SolarAngle</kbd> properties described below are still available, they are being deprecated in favor of <kbd>Horizontal</kbd> and <kbd>Vertical</kbd> data properties, returning the same as their <kbd>Mode</kbd> counterparts.

The daylight sensor has a <kbd>Mode</kbd> 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 ==
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 will return the angle formed by the reference vector (opposites the network connector) and the projection of the source of light on the surface the sensor was laid on. Positive values designate angles counter-clockwise when facing the sensor. The angle can be negative, ranging between -180 and +180.
[[File:Daylight sensor vertical.png|200x150px|thumb|daylight sensor in vertical mode]]
In vertical mode, the sensor measures the angle between the normal of the surface the sensor was laid on and the position of the sun.

=== Notes ===

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 ===
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

The motion sensor activates when a player or object enters the large grid square where the sensor is, and it will deactivate when no more players or objects are in the area.

The gas sensor will report information about the gas in the current atmosphere, such as pressure, contents and temperature.

Note: Temperature is given in Kelvin, while your suit gives a readout in Celsius.

Celsius + 273.15 = Kelvin

=== Data Parameters ===
The gas sensor has no Input parameters, it's a read only device.

= Console =
== Information == 
The console is one device of the Console item kit. The console can be fitted with a [[Circuitboard]]. When putting in a data disk, the console can be configured after being fully constructed with a circuitboard. After putting out the data disk it runs like previously configured.
There is the Console (Variant 1 of the kit) which has a mixed input (data and energy) and the Console Dual (Variant 2 of the kit) which has two inputs (one for energy and one for data).

== Example set up == 


For example one can set it to pressure measurement (requires gas circuit board inside) which allows one to read out the actual pressure value of a connected gas [[sensors|sensor]]. (Setup shown in picture)

== Tips == 


* You need to insert a Circuit Board and then put a sheet of glass over it to complete construction.
* To display general readings, only the Graph Display Circuit Board will find all the devices which are connected to your power grid. Any available readings will be shown on the select list.
* For other specialized Circuit Boards (Gas, Power, etc.) the only values that can be displayed are those related to the function of that board.

== Deconstruction == 
First remove the glass sheet with a [[Crowbar]]. The device itself is deconstructed with the [[Hand Drill]].
