PWM ports randomly gets on !

[Bo0sted_Rafi]

Hi to all.

Just curious about what happens inside the relay box because in 3 times randomly in 2 weeks my pwm ports gets on at 100% both. My lights are hooked to the ports and when I awake in the night, I saw the tank with the lights on at 4:30am. When that's happens, I unplug the relay box from the wall but when I connected again, still the lights on. To resolve this, I need to disconect the RA head unit from the serial port cable. It's like the system that actived the pwm gets stuck or something. Anyone experience this problem?how do I can solve this?

If my lights gets on in my next vacations, I can burn my corals at that power

post your code.

Do you mean the squarish VGA cable, or the flat TTY cable that you use to program?

the VGA cable disconnected its the only method i found to get the relay box to normal activity. Like a reboot.

Still have this problem! The white ports gets on randomly and if I disconnect the VGA cable, gets the actinic a lights on too. The method to resolve the problem it's unplug the VGA cable, disconnect from the wall the relay box, connected again the relay box and then connect the VGA cable and then the lights gets to normal. It's possible a internal problem in the relay box?

Try changing this:

Code: Select all

       ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(PWMSlope(17,0,0,3,0,12,3,0));
       ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(PWMSlope(18,30,22,33,12,45,3,ReefAngel.PWM.GetDaylightValue()));

To this:

Code: Select all

       ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(PWMSlope(18,30,22,33,12,45,3,0));

What's the difference? I need the code to start my lights at 5pm

Check this link for the info on what the parameters are and you can adjust yourself to whatever you want:

just try it and see if it resolves something. change 18,30 to 17,0

I remember this code...we were trying to do something weird with the schedule...you wanted two slopes right?

It was a slope and then another slope than flat till night then decrease and then decrease again...
