PWM Dimming Expansion

[clw143]

So if I add this to my code I can control from portal.

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.PWM.Channel0PWMParabola();
  ReefAngel.PWM.Channel1PWMParabola();
  ReefAngel.PWM.Channel2PWMParabola();
  ReefAngel.PWM.Channel3PWMParabola();
  ReefAngel.PWM.Channel4PWMParabola();
  ReefAngel.PWM.Channel5PWMParabola();

My best guess all these channels will be like the PWM Actinic channel was and my sunrise and sunset code will be the same for all of them. How do I tell it some of them are daylight and to use the actinic offset?

You can give each of those lines an argument for their offset.

If you want to use the Actinic offset variable you can reference it with this function

ReefAngel.InternalMemory.ActinicOffset_read();

[clw143]

ReefAngel.InternalMemory.ActinicOffset_read();

ReefAngel Class does not have InternalMemory.

You mean do this?

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.PWM.Channel0PWMParabola(InternalMemory.ActinicOffset_read());

[lnevo]

Yes. Exactly sorry for the mistake

[clw143]

I don't suppose lights off overheat can apply like they did by port with standard lights?

[rimai]

It doesn't apply, but you can code your own thing.
Something like this:

Code: Select all

if (ReefAngel.Params.Temp[T1_PROBE]>1200)
{
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(0,0);
}

[clw143]

Code: Select all

if (ReefAngel.Params.Temp[T1_PROBE]>1200

... make tartar sauce!

[clw143]

I also suppose lights on and lights off will work anymore either with out extra code?

[rimai]

Lights On/Off only work for relay ports and standard dimming channels. They do not do anything to the dimming channels.

[clw143]

Does something like this work?

Code: Select all

  if ( (ReefAngel.Params.Temp[T1_PROBE]>InternalMemory.OverheatTemp_read()) || (ReefAngel.LightsOff=true) ) ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel (0,0);

edit: guess not "(did you forget the '&' ?)"

[rimai]

There is no such thing as ReefAngel.LightsOff
The easiest way is to use the relay port in ReefAngel.LightsOnPort to assign a value to the channel.
This is what I do on mine:

Code: Select all

  if ((ReefAngel.Relay.RelayMaskOn & (1<<(Radion1-1))) == (1<<(Radion1-1))) // If MaskOn, we override PWM to internal memory value
  {
    ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel(Radion_White,InternalMemory.RadionSlopeEndW_read());
    ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel(Radion_RoyalBlue,InternalMemory.RadionSlopeEndRB_read());
    ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel(Radion_Red,InternalMemory.RadionSlopeEndR_read());
    ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel(Radion_Green,InternalMemory.RadionSlopeEndG_read());
    ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel(Radion_Blue,InternalMemory.RadionSlopeEndB_read());
    ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel(Radion_Intensity,InternalMemory.RadionSlopeEndI_read());
  }
  else
  {
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelWhiteSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelRoyalBlueSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelRedSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelGreenSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelBlueSlope();
    ReefAngel.RF.ChannelIntensitySlope();
  }

[clw143]

I don't suppose something like this will work?

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel (0&&1&&2&&3&&4&&5,0);

It does compile.

[rimai]

Mathematically, 0&&1&&2&&3&&4&&5 = 0
So, it is the same as this:
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel (0,0);
