jebao and feeding mode

[Paulweck]

im getting ready to order my jebao cable for my wp-40. my one question is do you still have to shut down the power to the pump to shut it off during feeding mode or can these be turned down to 10% during feeding mode with just the pwm dimming signal?

You can write the code so that it goes to 10% or 0% or even 20% (like I have it) during feeding mode.

Depending on how you are setting up the Jebao there are a couple of ways to code it.

I have mine like this, but it may be different depending on your code.

Code: Select all

if( ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==FEEDING_MODE ) ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(20);
if( ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==WATERCHANGE_MODE ) ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);

This will take it to 20% during Feeding and off during a water change.

lnevo is working up some new code for my De-nitrification unit and he said he was going to correct the way this is to so it can be adjusted from the portal.

Just an fyi. I'm off next week so should have some time to take a stab at it...

If that was directed to me and the De-nitrification coding, no problem. I know you are busy and you are doing me a huge favor so I understand.

Thanks again

Yes. For the OP, I recommend using the new DCPump configuration and you can set the Feeding mode speed and it should work without any custom coding.
