Description

The Satellite Dish is used together with a Computer fitted with a Motherboard (Communications) to allow Interstellar Communications.

The Satellite Dish must be guided by Satellite Tracking onto a signal and communications may be established once the signal strength is greater than 94%

Medium Satellite Dish

After "Big Changes Coming: Terrain Preview, Melting Ice, Modding, & Localization" update, Medium Satellite Dish has internal stack like Autolathe, which user can utilize it to give instructions to. The Medium Satellite Dish currently have 256Bytes(32 Addresses) stack memory.

Warning:
Internally every tick the stack data will be cleared and regenerated,
so don't OVERWRITE any TraderInstruction.Write* instructions when setting the WRITE_INDEX and WRITE_COUNT.

Metadata Payloads

Since Metadata has 3 addresses, so it's referenced here as a 24 bytes(192 bits) payload.

BitsOffset	63-40	39-8	7-0
Segment 1	All bits value in this section is the deplicate of bit 39.	ContactTypeID	OpCode of TraderInstruction.StrongestContactIdHash.
BitsOffset	63-32	31-24	23-16	15-8	7-0
Segment 2	All bits 0.	Contacted 0: false 1: true	Contact Tier: 0: Close 1: Medium 2: Far	Shuttle Type: 0:None 1: Small(3x3) 2: SmallGas(3x3) 3: Medium(5x5) 4: MediumGas(5x5) 5: Large(6x6) 6: LargeGas(6x6) 7: MediumPlane(7x7, runway:15) 8: LargePlane(9x9, runway:20)	OpCode of TraderInstruction.StrongestContactMetaData.
BitsOffset	63-40	39-24	23-8	7-0
Segment 3	ALl bits 0.	LifeTime	WattsToResolve	OpCode of TraderInstruction.StrongestContactSignalData.

Buy/Sell Payloads

Buy/Sell Payloads are 1 address each, so it's referenced here as a 8 bytes(64 bit) payload.

BitsOffset	63-48	47-16	15-8	7-0
Contents	Every bit's value is the same as bit 47.	PrefabHash/GasTypeBitFlag	Quantity This value is truncated so it won't be greater than 255 although the trader's Request/Stock is more than 255.	OpCode Data type represented as OpCode, one of the OpCode 7, 9, 10, 11.

Buy/Sell Child Payloads

Buy/Sell Payloads are 1 address each, so it's referenced here as a 8 bytes(64 bit) payload.

BitsOffset	63-48	47-16	15-8	7-0
Contents	Every bit's value is the same as bit 47.	PrefabHash/GasTypeBitFlag	ChildCount Counts how many instances of this item appeared as a child item. Beware it's not quantity, it's just a prefab type count.	OpCode If this data is requested by TraderInstruction.WriteTraderBuyData, then it's value is the OpCode of TraderInstruction.TraderBuyThingChildData. If this data is requested by TraderInstruction.WriteTraderSellData, then it's value is the OpCode of TraderInstruction.TraderSellThingChildData.

Gas Type BitFlags

If the BitFlag equals 0, it's undefined. If the bit at specific offset is 1, it means the gas contains that component.

BitsOffset	16	15	14	13	12	11	10	9	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1	0
Contents	PollutedWater	LiquidHydrogen	Hydrogen	LiquidNitrousOxide	LiquidPollutant	LiquidCarbonDioxide	Steam	LiquidVolatiles	LiquidOxygen	LiquidNitrogen	NitrousOxide	Water	Pollutant	Volatiles	CarbonDioxide	Nitrogen	Oxygen

Special Gas:

Bit 0,1 both set to 1, which is Air.
Bit 0,3 both set to 1, which is Fuel.

Stack Programming Reference Implementation

Shuttle Cargoes Looking Glasses

The Looking Glasses are purely for cargo inspection, no filter, no auto negotiate and call-down.

Materials to prepare:

A Medium Satellite Dish.
Any number of Logic Memories for Prefab Console display (if there are more Prefabs to display than your number of Logic Memories, they will be ignored).
Corresponding number of Hash Displays and Consoles.
Any number of Logic Memories for Gas Console display, (if there are more GasLiquid to display than your number of Logic Memories, they will be ignored).
Corresponding number of Hash Displays and Consoles.
1 Logic Switch for switch trader's sell/buy data.
6 Console for Small LED installation (all will show metadata).
1 Kit (IC Housing) and 1 Integrated Circuit (IC10).

Installation:

Install all of the Logic Memories.
Install corresponding Prefab Consoles, insert Hash Displays, and make sure the Hash Displays are set to Prefab display mode: Mode=0
Install corresponding Gas Consoles, insert Hash Displays, and make sure the Hash Displays are set to GasLiquid display mode: Mode=1

# example for setup GasLiquid mode
ss d0 0 Mode 1 # d0 is console pin
# or configure all the Consoles in the IcHousing's subnetwork
sbs StructureConsole 0 Mode 1

Naming each Logic Memory sequentially for two display types, for example: SLMP1, SLMP2 for Prefab display, and SLMG1, SLMG2 for GasLiquid display.
Manually configure all Consoles to link to their corresponding Logic Memories with Data Disk.
Install 1 Logic Switch for switch trader's sell/buy data, Open shows trader's Buy data, Close shows trader's Sell data. Label it TRADER_SELL_BUY_SWITCH.
Install 1 Kit (IC Housing) in the same subnetwork and label it Cargo LG IC Housing, insert a Integrated Circuit (IC10).
Install 6 LED and labeling them: LED_SIGID, LED_CON_TYPE_ID, LED_TIER, LED_SHUTTLE_TYPE, LED_WATT_TO_RESOLVE, LED_CONTACTED.

Reference Implementation:

Next are the code snippets for a setup of 20 Prefab Console and 11 GasLiquid Console looking glass.

First snippet is the initialization/configuration code, which should be write to the Integrated Circuit (IC10) for the first time, add/remove the Logic Memories stack entries that you actually used in your setup, then install the chip to housing.

Second snippet is for the second Integrated Circuit (IC10), take your IC10 chip out re-put it into the laptop, clear and paste in the new second code snippet.

There are a few user variables need to modify, please check the in-line comments. Mostly that's for LEDs to display metadata. Change the variables accordingly then insert the IC10 chip into the housing.

# Shuttle Cargoes Looking Glasses Runtime IC10

# User variable:
#
# DishM:              The Medium Dish hash.
# LED_SIGID:          The LED name, show SignalID.

# LED_TIER:           The LED name, show Tier.
# LED_SHUTTLE_TYPE:   The LED name, show Shuttle Type.
# LED_CONTACTED:      The LED name, show if the shuttle has been contacted already.

Final: Now enable the Medium Satellite Dish, enable the Cargo LG IC Housing(the 2nd script should be running), add some power to the dish and rotate it somehow, then check the monitors and LEDs, you will see the items you can shop(trader will sell) from this trader if the logic switch is closed, and you will see the items you can sell(trader will buy) from this trader if the logic switch is open.
