Moonlights don't SEEM to be dimming.

I just replaced my Lunar hub because I thought it had water damage, but the problem still seems to exist.

My Moonlights don't seem to be dimming.
As I said I replaced the Lunar hub.

The code I'm using is...

Code: Select all

if ( hour()>=13 && hour()<21 )
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 5, 0 );
  else
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 5, PWMSlope(21,0,13,0,0,MoonPhase() ,60,0) );
I change the <21 to <13 and set the dimming channel to 20% thru the Andriod app.
It looked like it was full brightness.

The dimming channel was putting out about a little less than 2v so it is doing it's job, but the lights didn't look like 20% dimming

If you connect just one moolight module directly to the dimming port, does it dim?

It is dimming on both the lunar hub and dimming module.
I guess the difference was so minute that I didn't notice it unless I changed it and watched the lights the whole time.

Thanks anyway.
