I am trying to code 3 DC pumps to work in gyre flow (not gyre mode) that will reverse every few hours. I have the pumps set up on opposite sides of the tank, 2 on one, one on the other (along with the return that is not included in coding) I tried to manually do if statements for several periods of the day where the stand alone pump comes on at 100% while the other 2 are off. Then after a couple hours, it shuts off, and the other two on the opposite side come on. I also have a few turbulent flow times coded in where all pumps are running. The issue i am having is that when i upload the below code, the if statements do not work, and only the last condition is used.
channel 0 and 2 are on one side while channel 1 is on the other////// Place your custom code below here
if (hour()>=7 || hour()<9) {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 1, 100);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 2, 0);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, 0);
}
if (hour()>=9 || hour()<11) {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 2, 100);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, 100);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 1, 0);
}
if (hour()>=11 || hour()<12) {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 1, 50);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 2, 100);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, 100);
}
if (hour()>=12 || hour()<15) {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 1, 100);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 2, 0);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, 0);
}
if (hour()>=15 || hour()<19) {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 1, 100);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 2, 100);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, 100);
}
if (hour()>=19 || hour()<22) {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 1, 0);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 2, 100);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, 100);
}
if (hour()>=22 || hour()<2) {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 1, 100);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 2, 0);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, 0);
}
if (hour()>=2 || hour()<7) {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 1, 0);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel ( 2, 80);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel ( 0, 80);
}
// This should always be the last line
I thought about maybe doing it differently and defining conditions and then doing some like
if (hour>=7 && hour<10) Preset Condition
where the preset condition would be one of 3 or 4 that i defined as a combination of pumps on and off and speeds.
I havent messed around a whole lot with programming stuff on my own. I usually just try to take something else that someone has posted thats close and figure out how to make it work for mine, but im having a hard time with this one.
Thanks for the help.
