SingleATO Question

Post by keithb »

I'm trying to use the SingleATO function "SingleATO(true,Box1_Port3,300,1)" but I'm getting the following error: "SingleATO not declared in this scope."

Where does one declare it?

Or better yet, is there a way to make RA wait a couple seconds when the ATO switch is toggled just to make sure its not a "False Alert?" As it stands right now the ATO pump is toggled 15-20 times an hour and I'm pretty sure that's not good for the pump.

First off, you need to call it ReefAngel.SingleATO.

Second, as far as the cycling, the easiest way I think would be to time control it. How many times per hour would you like it to run? Time becomes your "low" switch since your using single ato.

Ideally I'd love for the ato to run 2x an hour.

if (now%1800<305) ReefAngel.SingleATO(true,Box1_Port3,300,1)
else ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box1_Port3);

The 3:05 is the runtime. I wanted it a little longer than your timeout time so that could activate if an issue or empty reservoir condition.
