Resuming normal lighting.

Post by johniii »

Ok so when people come over early to check out my tank I sometimes use the all lights on command. How do I resume the normal schedule without hooking up a pc or unplugging the controller.

Lights off, which I understand is misleading.... :(
It basically cancels the Lights on mode.

When I use lights off. It doesn't turn them on at the scheduled time. It hard overrides to off.

You are talking about the joystick menu, right?

The Lights Off menu simply cancels the override. It does not override it off.

Mine does. If I use it the lights off it won't resume normal the next day. I will come home to No lights.

I just tested it and I can't seem to replicate this issue.
If you use Serial Monitor at 57600 baud, you can get the XML data from the controller.
Send "GET /r99 " make sure there is a space at the end...
Look for <R>, <RON> and <ROFF>
R will contain the bits that should be on/off when in auto mode.
RON will contain the bit for override on
ROFF will contain the bit for override off
In auto mode, you should have RON=0 and ROFF=255
When you override your lights on, you should see RON=42 and ROFF=255
Is this what you are getting?

just checked. Ron 42 in override. Ron 0 in auto.
everything is right now. tonight after the normal scheduled shut off i will use lights on then lights off. To see if when i get home tomorrow the lights are on. Before it was only giving a problem without the pc hooked up. when i would hook it up. they would correct.

Thank You for your help Roberto.

Make sure to check and report on roff as well since your stating it leaves things in override off...
