LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
Re: LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
Yeah. Didn't think about that. I didn't comment out this code even though it stopped working a while back:
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,15+60,52,"CC:");
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,15+60,62,"CD:");
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,15+60,72,"CS:");
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,15+80,52,(cloudchance,DEC));
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,15+80,62,(cloudduration,DEC));
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawText(0,255,15+80,72,(cloudstart,DEC));
I'll get rid of those lines and see what happens.

Re: LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
No Drawing issues here either. Has been running smoothly.
Had some people over and a Cloud happened with lighting .They were all very impressed!
I posted a video on You tube under ReefAngel lightning.
Lets start a collection so we can all see what were talking about when code changing.

Re: LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
youtube, lol. i checked it out, very cool. im still wondering about spooking the fish, since i know i get tank raised fish they have never seen lightning before, could see 'em freaking and jumping or something.rimai wrote:Where is the video?

Ok, here is the updated function with smoothed down reversed slope.

Re: LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
just venting...sorry. so i posted a link on one of the forums i visit to the cloud/lightning video and people were just haters...well let me clarify, peeps with metal halides were chiming in how us led-ers do the clouds, storms and lightning and for what reason. i had a couple people say itll kill stuff in my tank...lol, i do hate all the dead ocean fish after lightning and storms...i just chimed in and said we do it cause we can! along with adjust color, run more efficient, not replace bulbs every 6 months, and not heat up our tanks.
Re: LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
You tell them! You said it right ,We do because we can. Your just upset that in 2-3 years their equipment will be artifacts and we'll be able to make adjustment and they'll have to start all over again. I went to a meeting for the club Im in and we had a guy from Kessil give us a speech. And from what I got out of it this is just the beginning of LED's for Reef setup's. As for killing your stuff LOL! I think if anything growth might slow down due to polyp retraction when the lights dim down.

Re: LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
I know this is several months late - I changed the piece of code for simulating the lightning effect so its strike pattern will be a little more random.
Here is the modified section

Code: Select all
if (lightningchance && (NumMins(hour(),minute())==(cloudstart+(cloudduration/2))) && second()<2)

for (int b=0;b<strikes;b++)
{
if (bitRead(Daylight_Channels,b)==1)
{
if (random(100)<20) lightningstatus=1;
else lightningstatus=0;
if (lightningstatus) ChannelValue[b]=100;
else ChannelValue[b]=0;
if (b==random(strikes)) delay(2);
}
else
{
ChannelValue[b]=20;
}

Re: LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
@rimai
Is it possible to sync the RA to your local weather so that you will have clouds only on cloudy days and thunderstorm when it is in fact raining with thunderstorm in your area? and how would one go to get your wave makers to go ballistic?
This is my channels on my led unit:
Daylight - Neutral whites L
Actinic - Royal Blues L
Channel 0 - Neutral whites R
Channel 1 - Royal Blues R
Channel 2 - True Violets
Channel 3 - Cool Blues & Cyans
How would I do my code for the clouds and thunderstorm? I'm using 2 x VorTech MP40 and 1 x MP10 with the RF Expansion Module, so it will be possible to do crazy waves along with the thunderstorm?

Re: LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
Although possible, we don't have function that would do connect with local weather.
What kind of pattern are you thinking for your RF module?
The short pulse can shake things up quite well.

Then I`ll go with the short pulse!
So how does one going to program the weather forecast? Would be nice if one can program the pwm so that you get "warm sunny days" so the led unit have a higher peak shine period... and to do the cloud effect, but how do you program so that the pattern must never be the same? And to make the thunderstorm like to only certain months like say in the months that have heavy rain fall?

Re: LED Effects with PWM Expansion module
Thanks Roberto! It worked great. I love the new screens. Tbh, I didn't like the reef angel display. Now with the new changes, it's great. I do t have to squint no more. Love the lightning effects.
