Resolution of RF Vortech command

[dedvalson]

Would you like me to take a look at doing this?

I'll try to get something put together over the weekend.

Try this one.
Use mode 12 (Short Pulse).
It is still using 8ms resolution.
The minimum pulse is 240ms, which would be duration=30.

Roberto,

So, more than six months later I finally get back to you on this. Life has been very busy.

Anyway, I downloaded and installed the 1.1 code above and tried running it in Short Pulse mode (12). It appears that it isn't much different from the previous version. The original modes still work fine, but the High Resolution modes (12-14) are sporadic, like we are still missing commands. In mode 12 the Vortech works fine if the duration is set to 30. But if I set it to 31, misses every 5th or 6th cycle.

So it works, but is not regular, it is sporadic.

Thanks,

Don

It also appears that mode 14 does not work at all. It just turns on and stays on.

Just to try to replicate the same stuff, which libraries version are you running?

[dedvalson]

It looks like 1.0.7.

I can easily change that if it would help.

I did not have time to look into this and test yet, but I'm pretty sure it is because of the Radion integration.
Can you try commenting line 791 on ReefAngel.cpp??

[dedvalson]

You were right. That Fixed Mode 12 (and Probably Mode 13, I didn't test it). But Mode 14 is still totally dead.

This is great, now I can make big waves in the aquarium.

I would love to get 14 going though. If you would like, I can help with that.

14 is long wave. Isn't the original 4 good enough?
It doesn't need the same precision as the 12, right?
I've logged the issue for the Radion integration

13 is long pulse, 14 is NTM, at least that is what you had said earlier. I was hoping for an accurate NTM.

[rimai]

What is the duration you are trying?

[dedvalson]

Duration is 68, Speed is 70, Mode is 14.

Any progress on this

[dedvalson]

If you would like me to, I could look at the firmware for the RF module and see if I can fix this.

I'll try to check over the weekend.
Without a RF sniffer, you won't get far

Try this one.
