Water Level expansion starting and stopping intermittently

[Endaar]

I can't get it to do it with that code installed. Instead of the if/then can I use the other call?

[rimai]

The code I posted should turn the pump on and off based on the level.

[Endaar]

it does. I mean I can't get it to start and stop.

[rimai]

So the code is working as intended now?

[Endaar]

if I leave that code you just gave me in.

[rimai]

Now, that's weird...
Sorry man, I think I need to sleep on this problem... It's very confusing how one code works and the other doesn't when they are basically the same thing... lol

[Endaar]

Good Night. Thanks for the help.

The only thing I can think of is the way we are reading the values for the water level on the fly, instead of using an actual variable to store the information.
So, I'll change the libraries to store the information in a variable, which also makes it work better anyway.
It'll be in the next patch.

Roberto,
I grabbed the files you updated in issue 82 and added ReefAngel.WaterLevelATO(Port1,300,61,63); back and the ATO still seems to behave the way it was. If I move the water level sensor below 61 the ATO will run continuously until it gets to 61 then it will run intermittently above 61 and I never see the screen get to 63.
I also moved the top end to 68 and I see the same behavior.
Could it be the sensor causing the issue?

Oh yeah I forgot to mention. When the RA is plugged into the relay and sensor the RA never times out, but if it the RA is powered on and the relay not connected and the water level reads 0 I will get a timeout as expected.

Did you just update the file or you updated the libs to latest 1.0.5?

[jtomasi]

did you try and re calibrate 0-100? No sure if that would help

Try recalibrating the water level sensor

instructions from the water level expansion manual :

1. Using the joystick, navigate to “Water Level Calibration”.
2. Hold the pvc pipe outside of the water.
3. Let the reading stabilize and press the “Ok” button. (0 %)
4. Immerse the PVC pipe in water until it reaches the PVC adapter. (put the pipe in the holder inside the sump)
5. Let the reading stabilize and press the “Ok” button. (100 %)
