How to code alk cal dosing pumps beyond basic wizard setup..

[DavidinGA]

I setup two dosing pumps using the reef angel wizard and they have worked fine thus far; but I would like to be able to control exactly what time each day I dose by stating a time rather than the wizard way of doing it (dose for xx seconds every 60min or whatever).

Right now my 2 dosing pumps are port 7 and 8 below in the code.

ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat( Port7,0,480,25 );
ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat( Port8,0,480,24 );

So every 480 minutes they come on for 25sec and 24sec. How can I change this to a time format where I can put in say to dose port7 at 7:00am for 25 seconds then again at 7:00pm for 25 seconds and then something similar for port8

Thanks

You can use something like this:

Code: Select all

if ( (hour()==7 && minute()==0 && second()<25) || (hour()==19 && minute()==0 && second()<25) )
  ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port7);
else
  ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port7);

  ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port7);

Ok.

If I do that do I leave my original code like it is and add your new code?

ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat( Port7,0,480,25 );

...or do I need to change it?





....and


Do I put that code right after ////// Place your custom code below here where my other custom code is?



{
ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port1,795,800 );
ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port2,793,800 );

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( LongPulse,40,10 );
ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel = Sync;
ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel = AntiSync;
////// Place your custom code below here

{
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);

else if (hour()>=12 && hour()<14)
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( ShortPulse,70,10 );
else if (hour()>=14 && hour()<16)

{
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(0);

Yes, place where you mentioned, but you must remove the old code.
