I'm having a bit of an issue with my moonlight's. I have a Dimming module that connects to an I/O expansion module that is connected directly to the RA+. The moonlight's are staying on throughout the day even though I explicitly try and turn them off. My code is below:

Code: Select all

void setMoon()
{
#ifdef debug_lights == 1
  Serial.print("Daylight: ");
  Serial.print(sunLocation.IsDaytime());
  Serial.print(" MoonPhase: ");
  Serial.print(MoonPhase());
  Serial.println();
#endif

  if (sunLocation.IsDaytime())
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel(0, 0);
  else
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, MoonPhase() );
}

By using the serial port monitor I can see that it is daytime. I would expect setting the channel to 0 should turn it off.

Any advice on an alternative? Thanks in advance.

Maybe its getting set elsewhere? Code looks fine...

Thanks for the response... That is the only place that channel 0 is getting set in my code. Is it possible I need to reboot my RA? BTW) Is there a way to do a reboot that does not require unplugging it?

If you have wireless you can do /boot to bounce it.
