Here it is, no more having to adjust your photo period to acclimate corals if you have dimmable LED drivers.
This code is setup currently for PWM signal. I am using 3 channels because I couldn't get both my Blue driver wires into the same channel.
This code can be easily edited to add additional channels for drivers running different colors White/Blue or if you have split your colors up into more drivers... Cool White/Warm White/Royal Blue/Cool Blue/UV/Red/Green etc...
To view and write the hard coded values for the locations defined in the global variables use the following wifi commands in your web browser
http://IPAddressOfYourWifiAttachment:2000/mbx
- read memory location (byte size) where
x=memory location
Example to read the value of Mem_B_AcclDuration:
http://192.168.0.60:2000/mb101
http://IPAddressOfYourWifiAttachment:2000/mbx,y
- write memory location (byte size) where
x=memory location
y=value to be written
Example to set the value for Mem_B_AcclDuration so you have a 30 day acclimation cycle:
http://192.168.0.60:2000/mb101,30
You will need to set ALL OF the global variable values below to what ever you want by using the wifi commands above.
////// Place global variable code below here
Code: Select all
////// Memory Locations used by all formulas
#define Mem_B_AcclDay 100
// Note - 100 represents the hard coded Memory location used for this variable
// not the value for the variable.
// This variable represents the current day in Acclimation Cycle. Set this value to the same
// number of days as your AcclDuration to begin the acclimation cycle or set it to 0 to use
// your normal dimming end% values.
#define Mem_B_AcclDuration 101
// Set this value to how many days you want your acclimation cycle to take.
#define Mem_B_SlopeStart 102
// Set this to your desired starting acclimation end%.
/////// Memory Locations used by Blue Formula
#define Mem_B_AcclStartEndBlue 105 // Acclimation starting Slope end%
#define Mem_B_SlopeEndBlue 106 // slope End%
////// Memory Locations used by White Formula
#define Mem_B_AcclStartEndWhite 110 // Acclimation starting Slope end%
#define Mem_B_SlopeEndWhite 111 // Slope End%////// Place your custom code below here

// At the end of the day, we need to decrement the acclimation counter.
static boolean acclCounterReady=false; // We need a boolean so we only do this once per day
