PWM control channel levels

[Rodasphoto]

I just built a radion pro clone and have 6 channels of lights and was wondering if there is a way to adjust each channel to my liking without having to load new code to the controller with preset values? Or is there a way to set the color temp by preset for instance 10K, 12k, 14k, etc.

There is no color temp preset, but you can play around with each channel using the portal or android app or web browser.
You can use this code to make things simpler:

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(0,InternalMemory.PWMSlopeEnd0_read());  
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(1,InternalMemory.PWMSlopeEnd1_read());  
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(2,InternalMemory.PWMSlopeEnd2_read());  
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(3,InternalMemory.PWMSlopeEnd3_read());  
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(4,InternalMemory.PWMSlopeEnd4_read());  
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(5,InternalMemory.PWMSlopeEnd5_read());

So do I just change the internal memory to what I want using the portal or do I have to use both the portal and the code. The RA controller gets better and better the more I learn about it.

If you use the above code, you can simply go to the portal and change the settings.
You will see the controller changing the % as you apply the changes.
It will be picking up the end% of the memory settings, so make sure you change the end% in the portal.

So my sketch should look like this?

I have never coded anything in Arduino and am trying to make heads or tails of everything.

Yeap... looks good
