Reef Angel Forum

What exactly was the stray voltage related or isolated to? Only reason why I'm asking is because I was going to order a pH probe replacement and set it back up. I am using a pair of multi chip LED's with each using a pair of MeanWell LDD's and power supply. They are connected up to the expansion hub...

Lnevo - one more question. How did you generate the graph you posted?

I just reconnected my wireless module since I was done uploading code and wondering how you did it.

Thanks.

This is also working...

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( ReefCrest, tideSpeed, tide.isIncoming());

EDIT: Ok, I posted while off making changes - may still be applicable but this is what I had working before you replied. Sorry. 1. Needed to set variable byte tideSpeed=tide.GetSpeed(); 2. Removed older DCPump logic and added a single line ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( ReefCrest, tideSpeed, 10); // stil...

Thanks Lnevo. Very detailed and powerful code. It defineatly packages everything I'd like to use once I get it dialed in. So thanks for explaining it. I'll fix the tide isIncoming block. If I understand correctly I don't need the if logic at all for flow or limit after hours. I just did a quick test...

Sorry for taking so long. I owe you a proper answer, but I need to look up the API so I can tell you properly :) should be able to respond tomorrow. No rush. I am actually reading your RA code thread and another thread which someone is asking similar questions with the sun routines. I have my curre...

Are there options to pass to the tide function or do you edit the header file for changes? Right now I'm just declaring Tide, then use it as tide.isIncoming to set the dc pumps and channels. I thought I read somewhere about some values in the .h file and saw below. Was going to see if I can get a bi...

lnevo wrote:Yes, however I would use Sync (primary channel) instead of AntiSync (secondary)

But otherwise thats exactly the behavior it was intended for

Thank you.

And I can't even tell you why I had antisync in there but will make the change. Thanks a million for pointing that out

Quick question to verify how it works and called since I'm not 100% sure if I understand it correctly. Under void loop() I have the code below. I am assuming that if tide is inIncoming mode that DaylightChannel will kick in, and Actinic Channel set to none means it is off. So my RW4 on one side work...

Yes I do. Didn't think it was that much information. How do you have your configured? Is there another way? I've honestly never looked to see how much mine sends but will try that later today and see what it yields. As far as it is configured, it is default and not sure if one can limit. I know the...

Do you have it contacting the portal? If so, my guess is every 5 minutes or whatever the timer is uploads your data to the reef angel portal. Depending on what sort of information you have with your set up I'd wager that could eat that up rather quickly. So what is that, 288 calls roughly if I'm thi...

I run two RW-4's on my 40 gallon breeder. I picked up two of the cables here and using the standard ports on the relay for actinic and daylight. Work well and I run them at about 40 to 50%.

Ok, wondering if I could get some more help if possible. I thought I figured it out but I'm starting to think I am misunderstanding something basic. I am trying to use the tide function and have the basic routine as: // Testing tidal function if (tide.isIncoming()) { ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel...

I ran a few different patterns the last couple of days and I have to say I like the tidal swell mode the best so far. Short pulse was interesting and I could actually see a wave on the top of the surface. I think I'll try tidal swell for the whole day and let it go to reef crest mode at night. While...

Ok, thanks lnevo. I'm going pretty slow with this one since the RW-4's can put out a lot of movement in the 40 gallon breeder. The fish for the most part have been around 4 years or so but I recently added a pair of baby clown fish and a blenny which are young / small. This is a really cool library....

Thats perfect! Now if you want to use the tide mode more you can set the parameters for the tide speed to fluctuate through the day and the variation would be based on the MoonPhase() so where you are calling SetMode and giving the ReefCrest speed you could get the speed from the tide class. Also t...

Ok, found the compile error. Case sensitive :) Was using uppercase T instead of lowercase t when calling tide. Not sure if this is the right way to set it up but the tide function has the if statement to set PWM sync or anti sync. Then I let my main run window use full power or reduce after lights o...

Ok, thanks. I'll see if I can find an example of that. Right now I have the standard reef crest to go to 25 when the lights go off (9 PM). Then standard power when them come on again at 9 AM. I don't know what mode actually does what so I'm just using reef crest for now but would like to get the sid...

Ok, thanks for the information. I may have actually come across that after posting when looking for some other stuff related to the DC pumps and stuff.

That's not how ReefCrest works. ReefCrest slowly meanders between the midline (50 in your case) by +/- the offset (10 here). When the sync goes up, the antisync goes down. So they both should be on constantly, going between 40 and 60. --Colin Ok, that makes sense and also what I see although I thou...

Wondering if I have a configuration issue or if this is expected/normal behavior. Maybe weak reception and/or signal due to the size of the device or antenna. Logging into the local wireless portal and accessing the built in app I see lots of "Unable to retrieve data" Ooops messages. I hit...

Yeah, that is odd. Not really sure at this point since I have cruddy notes and they don't look that great in the sketch either :( I just re-ran the wizard and it produced something that has at least one side working but not sure if this is right either so I'll need to continue to try. Also those lit...

Picked up two RW-4's for the 40 gallon breeder which is made up mostly of soft corals and 3 rose bubble tip anemones. My order for two cables came in so I just finished connecting everything and adding some basic code from a few pages back that cycled through reef crest and nutrient export modes. Up...

Personally it think the 60's even powered down will be to strong for a 40 gallon. The Jebao WP pumps had an issue that they would lock up if they went below a certain percentage. With the WP-40's it seemed to be 30% and with the WP 25's it seemed to be 25% (or I have that reversed). Maybe I misunde...

I have not seen the RW series personally, but I believe it is the same connection as the WP pumps. Yes 1 cable per power head without some modifications. 2 60's in a 40 gallon is way to much power. Go with 2 40's. I actually had a 40 and 25 running in my 55 gallon and even then they were at 50% spe...

Older thread I know but had a quick question or two after reading it. I'm considering picking up two Jebao wave makers but not sure if the model is correct or will work with the Jebao/Speedwave cable offered here. It seems there is the standard WP series and now a RW series. Which version does the r...

Thanks.

Not sure why I didn't think of that Thank you both again because you probably saved me another headache if I used ports 7 and 8 incorrectly.

Thanks both of you for the reply. So can I just turn on ports 7 and 8 after ports 5 and 6 go off for the night? That way the random relay on/off will stay with port 5 and 6 which run the larger power heads. Then after 8 PM they would shut down and ports 7 and 8 could come on and both run without alt...

Does it matter what ports are used for wave maker functions or when they can be turned on or off? I have four power heads that I'm trying to control at different times of day. During the day I want the larger ports on with a random on/off time. They work fine on ports 5 and 6. However, the smaller p...

Oh, I never knew this. So if I understand this correctly you would have the two existing diming ports then two more by using the float switch ports for a total of 4? Is there any special code or how are the two ports referenced (or examples)? I have a pair of Rapid LED's Borealis Luxeon arrays. Each...
