if and coding on RA

Post by ecam »

Im trying to code my skimmer as follows: How to combine this statement

Essentially, I want the skimmer to turn off whenever ATO low trips. I also want the skimmer to turn off when my return pump is off. I want to put a 3 min delay on both sides. Thanks for the help

ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Box1_Port3,ReefAngel.Relay.Status(Port6)); // 11 Skimmer
ReefAngel.SingleATOLow(true,Port5,900,0 ); // 5 ATO - RODI

Try this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Box1_Port3,ReefAngel.Relay.Status(Port6)); // 11 Skimmer
ReefAngel.SingleATOLow(true,Port5,900,0 ); // 5 ATO - RODI
if (ReefAngel.LowATO.IsActive()) ReefAnel.Relay.Off(Box1_Port3);

So I will execute this as 3 separate statements right.

Didn't know that could work. Figured one would override the other

Yeap. That what you want to do.
You want to override the skimmer function if low ato is triggered.

Last question. So my main ato is fumctionjng with
The reefangel.singleAto function (plugged into low ato )

This one will operate skimmer and use high ato. For trigger.

Do you see any concerns ? Also wanted to put a 3 min delay on skimmer when return pump is turned back on

So the code works and turns of the skimmer. But it doesn't turn it back on. How can I make that happen after the high ato is cleared
