I may have screwed up the numbers. They should've represented the time for cloud (C) and ligthtning(L)

[abhi_123]

56:31 may be 2 days 8 hours 31 min? just a wild guess.

[abhi_123]

now my moonlight which was fixed on actinic is hanging. on portal it is showing 0% but my moonlight is shining brightly.

[rimai]

What does the controller show on AP?

[abhi_123]

zero

[rimai]

Can I see the code?

What happens if you reboot the controller?
Did it start after you added the last code?

[abhi_123]

the light is running continously even after unplugging the power cable when i again put the power its start.

[rimai]

I think I created a bug on the previous libraries release.
Can you use the update utility and upload your code again?

[abhi_123]

how to use it.

[abhi_123]

I updated my utility to 0.9.9. will upload the code & update here.

[abhi_123]

loaded the code & its working fine for now.

[abhi_123]

The code is working fine for now. I want to add sunrise sunset effect as per season variance. So longer days during summer & shorter during winter.

[rimai]

Are you getting the cloud and lightning effects?

[abhi_123]

Yep. So far not bad.

[rimai]

Cool.
Now, take a look at this thread:
http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=667

[abhi_123]

my led started flashing like crazy dont know wat went wrong.

[rimai]

Was there anything added or removed?
Did you change or update code?

[rimai]

try this:
http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?p=9576#p9576

[abhi_123]

That ok but the prob is that i am not overridding the current. i am using aquastyle led which are connected in 2 parallel strings of 12 led each. the maximum forward voltage is 3.6 for each making 43.2 for a string whereas the voltage range for the driver is 28.8 to 48v.

here is the link for the specification of driver i am using.http://www.meanwell.com/search/LPF-60D/default.htm

[rimai]

So, it was working before with another driver, but it doesn't on this one?
Has it ever worked on this driver?
Did you test the driver?

[abhi_123]

Well i am just going to buy one 10VDC Adaptor to look whether it works with that or not. i think with 10 V they will lit up at 100%

[abhi_123]

Update.

Output voltage of my driver is 49.5v & output for the dimming cable is 10v. my pwm channel output is also as per value shown on portal. dont know where i am messing up

[rimai]

Does it stop flashing if you disconnect the drivers from RA?
What happens when you use a AA battery or a 9V battery instead of RA?

[abhi_123]

when i am using AA battery for single led it is running fine. havnt checked the leds without RA.

[rimai]

What I meant was use the AA battery as dimming signal for the drivers.

[abhi_123]

got it. Will be using 9 volt battery & update here.

[rimai]

1.5V should give you 15%.
On LPF driver, it should be above the threshold.
I head they go all the way down to 3%

[abhi_123]

dimming is ok. the prob is with the voltage or current coz of that they are blinking. any idea how to correct it?
