I/O expansion question

Post by rossbryant1956 »

Some time ago we wrote the following code and its been working great. I use this code to monitor a float valve in my display tank to watch for my overflow clogging up.

Code: Select all

 //turn off port 8 - main pump when switch is tripped and sound buzzer 
     ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Port8,ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(0));
     ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(100-(ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(0)*100)); 
          
     //tell the portal we have a overflow problem
     ReefAngel.CustomVar[0]=ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(0);
     ReefAngel.CustomVar[7]=1;
Tonite the buzzer went crazy but there was no overflow problem. When I looked at the float valve I noticed it needed some gunk cleaned out it; which I did. All seemed back to normal after testing.

Finally the question...when I went back and looked at my portal display I noticed the following:

My problem is that I have forgotten if the number 1 in the display overflow field is the normal "all is well" configuration or still an indication of some kind of problem. Please advise and thanks.

Reading back on our conversation, it seems that you need to reboot the controller to clear the flag:

But the code above posted tells me otherwise, so I'm not so sure if you did implement the last suggestion or not.
The code you posted tells me that 1 means everything is ok.
