DC Pump vs. PWM Daylight

Post by clw143 »

What is the different between doing this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = false;
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( TidalSwell,60,10 );
ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel = Sync;
ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel = None;
and this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( TidalSwellMode(60,true) );

The first will use more memory...otherwise as written they are the same.

Take out the set mode to tidalswell in the first and set usememory to true and it will read the params from the portal allowing you to change it..

Thats the advantage of the first..

They are both the same.
The end result will be the same, I should say.

I would argue that... partially...

the first one is one step away from being able to utilize the portal to change modes. but both are currently locked to the programmed mode and speed.

the first one though will use much more memory as has been discovered by others. So unless you have an RA+ I would not use the first as written.
