Help with 1st time coding

[Express Reef]

Good Day All,

Still trying to setup my RA

I need assistance with my code

I want a very basic menue
1. Lights on/off (port 1 to 4)
2. Skimmer on/off (port7)
3. Return on/off (port8)
4. Setup - Calibrate pH

Info on Ports
Port 1 - 4 Lights
Port 5 Fans 26.5 on 26 off
Port 6 Heaters 25.5 on 26 off

Light time
Actinic Lights - Port 1
9:15 to 6:15
Daylight Lights Port 2
9:45 to 6:15
Actinic Lights Port 3
10:15 to 7:45
Daylight Lights Port 4
10:45 to 5:45

Here is my code so far but it is not working 100%, my lights does not want to switch on/off via the menu on the controller

// Use T1 probe as temperature and overheat functions
ReefAngel.TempProbe = T1_PROBE;
ReefAngel.OverheatProbe = T1_PROBE;
// Set the Overheat temperature setting
InternalMemory.OverheatTemp_write( 300 );


// Ports that are always on
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port7 );
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port8 );

////// Place additional initialization code below here


////// Place additional initialization code above here
}

void loop()
{
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port1,9,15,18,15 ); // Actinic Lights
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port2,9,45,18,15 ); // Daylight Lights
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port3,10,15,19,45 ); // Actinic Lights
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port4,10,45,17,45 ); // Daylight Lights
ReefAngel.StandardFan( Port5,260,265 );
ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port6,255,260 );

ReefAngel.Portal( "Express Reef" );
ReefAngel.ShowInterface(); // Display everything on the LCD screen
}

Code looks good.

Hi Roberto,

My lights was suppose to go off on port 4 20 min ago but it is still on on the controller and did not switch off??? Is my RA faulty??? port 5 & 6 work if the temp goes up or down the the fans go on or heater...

Maybe check the time on your RA is set correctly? The code looks right. Did your other lights come on?

Think there was something wrong with the internal memory... got this code now to work... date & time is correct

If you clicked on lights on menu, the lights will never turn off.
The lights on is overriding the port to always on.
You need to use lights off to cancel the lights on mode.
I think that's why the port was not working.
