DCPump Else Mode

Post by Smotz »

Hi All,

I have 2 x Jebao's rw-8s being controlled with the DCPump class.

I am having a difficult time setting the ELSE mode to be at least 33% but not go over 50%

When I do a:

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode (Else, 38, 5);

It often get values in the 60's and 70's which is way to much for my 60 cube.

Any thoughts?

We should probably have a High Threshold like we do the low today for this. The only way is to fix the Else function, not sure why it would top off over 43 based on your code though. I think Colin was looking at that.

The current version is broken. It's fixed in the dev libraries. In the dev libraries, the speed is the midpoint and the duration is the +/- offset. So, if you set it to 38,5 you'll get values between 33 and 43.

The old version uses voodoo to come up with values. :D

nice. I'll download the Devs. Thank you.

Refresh my memory - I just have to download and copy over the libraries-dev.zip file?

Yep. Rename the directory to libraries and put it in place of your current libraries file.

If you're using a RANet dimming expansion you'll need a software upgrade for it as well.

That did it - Else is working correctly, now. Thank you!
