Skimmer float

Post by paperdesk »

I have a float switch in my skimmer overflow container. I want my skimmer to shut off when the container gets full.

Here's my code borrowed from another forum member:

if(ReefAngel.HighATO.IsActive())
{
ReefAngel.Relay.overide(Port8, 0);
}
else
{
ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port8);
}

I get the following verification error: class RelayClass has no member named override

What do I need to do now?

It's Override

I need a little more help. I'm not a programmer, and though I have a real interest in learning, and am learning slowly, it's going to be a while before I get even close to where I want to be. Meanwhile, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make this skimmer float switch work. I corrected the spelling error, but get pretty much the same message.

Can you post your code?

Make sure it's Override, with a capital O and two r's. In you post you have a small 'o' and one 'r'.

I know, because I stole this code last night and got the error. :D

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.Override(Port8);
Should be

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.Override(Port8,0);
Also, it might be backwards (float switches always confuse me). If it shuts off immediately, you may need to do this:

Code: Select all

if(!ReefAngel.HighATO.IsActive())

That can't be the complete code.
It's missing stuff at the end.

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
}
And that is not including the Portal function if you use it.
Also, if you check the Override function posted above, there is a second argument to that function.
It should be Override (Port8,0) and not just Override (Port8)
So, your code should be:

Code: Select all

#include <ReefAngel_Features.h>
#include <Globals.h>
#include <RA_Wifi.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <Time.h>
#include <DS1307RTC.h>
#include <InternalEEPROM.h>
#include <RA_NokiaLCD.h>
#include <RA_ATO.h>
#include <RA_Joystick.h>
#include <LED.h>
#include <RA_TempSensor.h>
#include <Relay.h>
#include <RA_PWM.h>
#include <Timer.h>
#include <Memory.h>
#include <InternalEEPROM.h>
#include <RA_Colors.h>
#include <RA_CustomColors.h>
#include <Salinity.h>
#include <RF.h>
#include <IO.h>
#include <ORP.h>
#include <AI.h>
#include <PH.h>
#include <WaterLevel.h>
#include <Humidity.h>
#include <DCPump.h>
#include <PAR.h>
#include <ReefAngel.h>

////// Place global variable code below here


////// Place global variable code above here

  // Ports toggled in Water Change Mode

Thanks a lot! I think this did it for me though I only did a quick check so far.
