Problems with reef crest mode

Post by anderzon_ »

I have a problem with the reef crest mode. It works for a while then it's just like the pump stops at the lowest speed even though it says for example 95%. I've tried to reload the program, but it's the same thing. Anybody have a clue what it could be? I use jebao wp-25
If I pull the cord from the dimming port and put it back, so it works again.

my code.

Code: Select all

#include <ReefAngel_Features.h>
#include <Globals.h>
#include <RA_Wifi.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <Time.h>

#include <AI.h>
#include <PH.h>
#include <WaterLevel.h>
#include <Humidity.h>
#include <DCPump.h>
#include <ReefAngel.h>

////// Place global variable code below here

////// Place global variable code above here

void setup()
{
  // This must be the first line
  ReefAngel.Init(); //Initialize controller
  ReefAngel.SetTemperatureUnit( Celsius ); // set to Celsius
Temperature

  ReefAngel.Use2014Screen(); // Let's use 2014 Screen
  // Ports toggled in Feeding Mode
  ReefAngel.FeedingModePorts = Port6Bit;
  // Ports toggled in Water Change Mode
  ReefAngel.WaterChangePorts = Port1Bit | Port2Bit | Port3Bit |
Port4Bit | Port6Bit | Port8Bit;
  // Ports toggled when Lights On / Off menu entry selected
  ReefAngel.LightsOnPorts = 0;
  // Ports turned off when Overheat temperature exceeded
  ReefAngel.OverheatShutoffPorts = Port1Bit;
  // Use T1 probe as temperature and overheat functions
  ReefAngel.TempProbe = T1_PROBE;
  ReefAngel.OverheatProbe = T1_PROBE;
  // Set the Overheat temperature setting
  InternalMemory.OverheatTemp_write( 270 );

  // Feeeding and Water Change mode speed
  ReefAngel.DCPump.FeedingSpeed=0;
  ReefAngel.DCPump.WaterChangeSpeed=0;

  // Ports that are always on
  ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port2 );
  ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port3 );
  ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port4 );
  ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port5 );
  ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port6 );
  ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port8 );

  ////// Place additional initialization code below here

  ////// Place additional initialization code above here
}

void loop()
{
  ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port1,250,254 );
  ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port7,17,0,20,0 );
  ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = true;
  ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( ReefCrest,100,10 );
  ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel = Sync;
  ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel = Sync;
  ////// Place your custom code below here

  ////// Place your custom code above here

  // This should always be the last line
  ReefAngel.Portal( "anderzon_" );
  ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
}
should I delete this line:

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( ReefCrest,100,10 );

The Jebao pump have a problem going below a certain %. My WP-40 will not go below 20% (If I remember) without it stopping, while my WP-25 will not go below 30% without it stopping.

No I can't say these percentages are the same for everyone because I have seen other people have the same problem, but at different speeds.

My WP-25 shuts off at around 30% and won't come back on without pulling the plug.

thanks for your replies. It does not stop but it goes on very low speed even though it says 100%, it's only half maybe. If I pull the plug and put it back on again so is it as usual. Is it the pump that's wrong then? I removed the line of text I wrote before, I thought about it crashed in the code but it's the same problem though.

Must be something wrong with my dimming ports. Now the pump
Slow down even in constant mode. Is there any way to reset the relay box?
