Solar Tracking for Mimas

[Tux]

I dont see one on the interwebs.
It might be easy to just modify the moon setup its been awhile. The sun inclination on Mimas is completely different, its more like what the sun does in the winter

Would the 2 axis tracking systems be able to track the inclination well enough? I've found that those work on every other starting scenario I've tried, but I haven't done Mimas or Europa yet.

perhaps I havent either. the angle is rather radically different though

Depends on what type of tracking your looking for.

The logic chip wont work very well on Mimas because of the odd pathing. But it works better then nothing. You will need to manually adjust the horizontal of all solar panels. I suggest waiting till noon and figuring out what the best horizonal figure is and set them all to that. You could setup a second setup for the vertial. But overall this is just a dumb system. Works good at the start till you can get an IC one going.

And the IC one posted above works perfectly all the time on any planet. Just make sure you get the placement right, but he did a nice video showing how to set it up.

ok that is what I figured. Sunlight on that planet is a very valulabe resource to gather as much as possible. but what i might do is figure out manually how it should be, then figure out how to program that.

if I am up for that

dual axis will work quite well. I've used it sucessfully on Europa and Vulcan both

I use the dual axis setup by Talinu - works perfect - needs 1 ic and housing, 2 memory and 2 batch writers

My personal fave. Using this one on Loulan and have used it on Mars and Europa
