The latest Cloud and Lightning code is here.
This is the original code for fast drivers and the dimming ports on the relay.

Then it was modified to work on slower drivers and the dimming expansion module.

Does the weather simulation pick a random day and time of the month to actually fire or is it every day or set in code based on us?
What I am wondering is if it is possible to switch the DC pump(s) to full during the storm then reset back to normal mode. I wouldn't want this happening every day but one or twice a month would be pretty cool to swoosh stuff around. May even be better than my turkey baster

It should be fairly easy to add some powerhead action. Was thinking about this yesterday actually. If I get to add it, I'll post my results.

Hate to ask this, but does the weather simulation library also simulate lighting?
I added the code this morning and have been toying with it when about an hour into post loading the code lights dimmed, assuming cloud, then all of a sudden flashed several quick successions with my blue channels being mostly called. Threw me for a loop but figured I'd ask.
I'm going to assume it does but wanted to be sure in case my multi chip can't handle it or I have to edit a value somewhere that maybe I missed.
The example I was using as a reference had it called as:
Global variable:
byte PWMChannel[6];
CheckCloud();
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(0,PWMChannel[0]);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(1,PWMChannel[1]);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(2,PWMChannel[2]);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(3,PWMChannel[3]);

Yes. You can modify the lightning chance and frequency in the defines above the CheckCloud function you added

Thanks. That got me to the correct location and I was able to modify. Also found an error in the code that was causing the RW's to run at 100% rather than the 40 like I thought.
Thanks for the information.

has this been done yet the full power overide for storm chance for dc pump

lee did you guys find out to add the powerheads into the storm deal?

Colin was looking at it
