Sensor¶

The type of structures returned by LIST SENSORS IN SOMEVARIABLE. This is not fully understood because the type of PartModule in the KSP API called ModuleEnviroSensor, which all Sensors are a kind of, is not well documented. Here is an example of using Sensor:

PRINT "Full Sensor Dump:".
LIST SENSORS IN SENSELIST.

// TURN EVERY SINGLE SENSOR ON
FOR S IN SENSELIST {
  PRINT "SENSOR: " + S:TYPE.
  PRINT "VALUE:  " + S:DISPLAY.
  IF S:ACTIVE {
    PRINT "     SENSOR IS ALREADY ON.".
  } ELSE {
    PRINT "     SENSOR WAS OFF.  TURNING IT ON.".
    S:TOGGLE().
  }
}

structure Sensor¶

Suffix	Type	Description
All suffixes of `Part`		`Sensor` objects are a type of `Part`
`ACTIVE`	Boolean	Check if this sensor is active
`TYPE`
`DISPLAY`	string	Value of the readout
`POWERCONSUMPTION`	scalar	Rate of required electric charge
`TOGGLE()`		Call to activate/deactivate

Note

A Sensor is a type of Part, and therefore can use all the suffixes of Part.

Sensor:ACTIVE¶

Access:	Get only
Type:	Boolean

True of the sensor is enabled. Can SET to cause the sensor to activate or de-activate.

Sensor:TYPE¶

Access:	Get only

Sensor:DISPLAY¶

Access:	Get only
Type:	string

The value of the sensor’s readout, usualy including the units.

Sensor:POWERCONSUMPTION¶

Access:	Get only
Type:	scalar

The rate at which this sensor drains ElectricCharge.

Sensor:TOGGLE()¶: Call this method to cause the sensor to switch between active and deactivated or visa versa.
