basic arduino help please...

Post by NanoTrevor »

hey all figured i would pick some of your brains cause i feel bad buggin roberto all the time. since this is loosely related to reef angel controller, its not robertos responsibility to help me as much as he has. i have the reef angel running on my 6 gal and built another 5 gal tank with custom led fixture and 1 driver. my plan is to buy a barebones arduino/freeduino like this http://shop.moderndevice.com/products/rbbb-kit add real time clock and use the pwmslope code to turn leds on and off and ramp like we can with ra. question is what part of the code/libraries do i need to code something basic like this? i wont have lcd screen just super stripped down controller to run lights...info? ideas? suggestions?
thanks

Don't worry about stripping the libraries.
Use the same code as you would for RA. It will work. :)

I think just code would work, but just in case, load the memory first. It's a one time deal anyway and won't hurt to have it initialized with known values.
