Lunar Module Programming Issue...

[cdness]

Hi All,

I am uanble to get the Lunar Sim to work correctly. First I used the following program pulled from Ken's site:

If Moon 000/000 Then MON ON
If Timer LT1 = ON Then MON OFF //Prevents wasted power (From Ken's site)
If Timer LT2 = ON Then MON OFF //Prevents wasted power (From Ken's site)

With that programming the MON timer never turns on.

I simplified it and tried the following:

If Moon 000/000 Then MON ON

With that the MON timer comes on during the day and not at night... What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
Curtis

The lunar simulation follows the true lunar cycle. In general the moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening when it is a new moon. Everyday the moon rises about 50 minutes later, and by the time it is a full moon it is rising in the evening and setting in the morning. Today it is a few days past new moon, and that is why the moon light is on during the day.

Newbie mistake on my part... Thanks for the clarification. I was worried for awhile there that my program was messed up...lol.

I almost posted something about this same subject because I couldn't figure out why the moon lights were on during the day. I had to dig out the lunar module instructions to find the above statement about the lunar cycle and new moon etc... So don't worry your not the only one
