Controlling Jebao/Tunze/Speedwave pumps

[ReeferBee]

Is it odd that both of my float switch ports run my wp40?

Anybody?

I don't want to kill the pump if it's only supposed to be ran on a particular float switch port.

[lnevo]

Afaik its only the lowato..

[ReeferBee]

That's what I thought. I cannot tell a difference between the two ports. Is the low port the one on the right? Both seem to run the wp40 the same. I'll post my code. Maybe I have it in the wrong place.

I have 2 wp25's that I have in my analog dimming channels. I ran the wizard to set them up, and now I am confused. I wanted to set them Reef Crest. First I set them at 90% one sync, the other antisync. I would notice one would at times be off. Then I put them at 90% both sync and at times they would both stop. Now I have them both at 90% antisync. So far I have not seen them stop, but not seeing that much of a variance in speeds. Are there adjustments? I'm used to Else modes where I could hear major speed changes. The code samples on the front page don't look like the ones that the wizard generated.

Sorry for all the noob ?'s

I believe this happens when the dimming % drops below 30% on the wp25's.

My guess is you are using the DCPump class..

You could try this instead and set it so your offset does not drop your wave speed below 30%.. 55-25=30

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( ReefCrestMode(55,25,true); // (byte waveSpeed, byte waveOffset, boolean PulseSync)

Make sure to set the proper channel whether it is Daylight Actinic or if you are using an expansion etc...

I wonder what would happen if you set them to 80% instead of 90%.
ReefCrest has a +/- 20% variance. What I'm thinking is if there is any problems when the % goes above 100%.

[chapboogie]

That makes sense. I'm used to else mode, so I was thinking 90% was max speed.

What is the duration setting, and can I adjust it?

[rimai]

duration is not used for reefcrest

I have some question, i have 2 jaebo and one tunze, but i have only 2 ports on relay. Where cai i connect tunze pump?

You would need the dimming expansion module

[ritorres]

I have it and i use it for my pwm led, i have some free ports, how i can use it the free ports for the tunze?

[rimai]

Do you have the RA Tunze cable?
You can cut the connector of the Tunze cable and connect it to the dimming module.

[Sacohen]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I was looking at the description of the Tunze cable and it says to connect it to any analog port.
ritorres said he had the PWM dimming module is the Tunze cable Analog/PWM like the Jebao cable is?

ritorres if you open your dimming module up and there are jumpers in it then you have one of the newer modules that you can choose between Analog or PWM.

If you have the older one that is just PWM, I would put one of the Jebaos on the PWM dimming module since that cable can work with either analog or PWM.

[rimai]

Correct, the tunze only works on analog.

[Sacohen]

Ok.

Ritorres what type of head unit do you have Analog or PWM?
Also look inside the dimming unit and see if you can switch some of the ports to analog with jumpers.

I use pmw led i think pwm dimming unit, how can i chnage with jumper?, some thread or diagram please

When you open up the dimming module if you see the following...



You will need to put a jumper across the ports that you want to change to Analog.
The jumpers are the same as you would put on a computer motherboard or hard drive.

Code: Select all

pinMode(lowATOPin,OUTPUT);
analogWrite(lowATOPin,ReefCrestMode(60,20,true)*2.55);

analogWrite has a range of 0-255 instead of 0-100

ReefCrestMode is the default setting for the DC pump correct? And if I add ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = true; I can set my pump from the portal or the RA Debug app in development.

[89delta]

Remove R2.

rimai, are there any I'll effects by removing both resistors and leaving the cap?

[rimai]

Should be fine.

[rimai]

Actually, if you remove R1, the signal will never reach the pump. You must leave R1.

[89delta]

Can I substitute the 10k with a 1.8k? At 100% my wp10 doesn't seem to be pushing as hard.

[rimai]

The value won't affect the result, unless you increase to a really larger value, which would cause it to have slow response. You can even remove it and solder the pads together if you want to.

[89delta]

Thanks rimai. I'll just leave the 10k on R1 then. But other than that it works great using the ATO port.
