How do I set up those two together? Is it possible in the reef angel wizzard? There is only relay exp in the list.
I didnt understand the manual for this expansion.
Is it possible to switch on and of individually outputs on this expansion

You have to manually code it.

It is just like the expansion relay box.
All functions are the same. You simply reference it as another expansion box.
For example, the relay expansion is box 1 and power control is box 2, you reference it as Box2_Portx.

Would this work for control the orp exp with powe control exp, if I place it in the loop?
Do I need to upload the CustomMainScreen_PowerControlExpansion file to reef angel like in the manual?

Code: Select all

if (ReefAngel.Params.ORP >= 400 ) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Box1_Port3);
if (ReefAngel.Params.ORP <= 350 ) ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port3);

Sure, but I thought you said that the power control expansion was box2.

Yes, but I have found out that the relay expansion is broken so Im gonna replace it with the power controller for all 12 volts.

Its working :)
The only thing is that the expansion begins the relay with 11 not 9 in the display, but the code i correct.

Ports go from 1 to 8. There is no port 9.
Then 11 to 18, 21 to 28 and so on. That way, you know which box and which port it is. Port 67 is box 6 port 7.

Does not get the 12 volts relay box to work together with the 220 volts relay expansion. When I plug in a 220 volt relay box as box 1 and 12 volt as box 2, the 12 volt box does not work. If I take away the 220 volt box. the 12 volts box works as box 1. It will not work if the 12 volts are nr 1 and 220 volt nr 2 either. Seems like it just work alone for some reason. Any ideas?

You need to change the dip switches inside the module.
