My worry is that I need to be able to dim my drivers in the interim while I save for my RA. The only way I know to do this is with a complicated ardino DIY'ed controller...

use the SVR2 to adjust dimming while u wait for ur reefngel.
then when u get ur RA, just readjust SVR2.

roberto, do you need the wifi module to use this rf module?

how to do that?

Do you think I can DIM my TUNZE Nano-Stream 6025 with one of the two PWM channel on the relay box?
Thanks.

NO, since a 6025 is not controllable.

W@W!!!!
this is getting very very very interesting!!!
tagging along...

can you use the client suite without wifi?
i didnt install any suite, can i go directly to 2.2?

rimai wrote:Yes, you need the PWM expansion module if you don't want to use the standard 2 channels.
I don't know if it can be controlled by using PWM yet. I'm hoping Bryan can help us out and test really quick when he has some time

ok, i'll wait then. TY.

rimai wrote:correct

means it can be controlled?
i need the pwm epxansion module for this?
hopefully they're not on back order.

rimai wrote:Actually, it seems that they accept PWM straight up.
If this is correct, by just feeding the boosted PWM to pin #1 and using pin #2 as ground reference, one could control them.
I need to get me one tunze pump to verify.

i can't wait...

it's working, nice, real cool.
do you think i need another moonlight for a 3ft tank?

thanks Roberto!

another error,
ivalue required as left operand of assignment

ok, done splicing today, when i verified the code it says " moonphase was not declared in this scope ". if (hour()<16) { if (hour()<12) ActinicPWMValue=Moonphase(); else ActinicPWMValue=PWMSlope(12,0,21,30,10,100,150,ReefAngel.PWM.GetActinicValue()); } else { if (hour()<21) ActinicPWMValue...

ok, thanks. will need to go to homedepot tomorrow to splice this thing.
i'll splice it together with my actinic led's right? but how come in the code it says lowATOPin?
i'm not using my ATO molex.


Roberto, this varies in intensity like the moon right?
TY.

rimai wrote:It will not turn your LEDs on, because we are going to kill the relay that powers the drivers and change the PWM output to moon phase intensity.

ok. got it. relay is already on/off, it turns on at 11:58am and turns off at 9:32pm. so no problem there.

when lightning is in forecast, i'll get a video.

if we are sharing with the actinic, wouldnt the actinic turn on if the moonlights are on?
we can simulate the lunar cycle intensity right?

it means you won't have clouds or lightning today. Every midnight, the RA will check whether you have cloud or not. And for every cloud you have, there's a chance of lightning. You can change all the parameters on the defines within your code. BTW, i've already tested this for 2 days, everything is...

rimai wrote:You could, but it would be sharing one of the channels.

What time do you want the moonlight on?

simulate lunar cycle?
i dont know what time, can you give an advise?
my lights are from 12pm-930pm.

i have this on my controller display
C00:00 L00:00 19
what does this mean?
TY.

OK, verified it and no more errors.
lemme try it for a day or 2, see how it works.
TY.

Code: Select all

#ifndef __REEFANGEL_FEATURES_H__

#define DisplayLEDPWM
#define wifi
#define SIMPLE_MENU


#endif  // __REEFANGEL_FEATURES_H__

i put this in the library and save it.

however, still getting "sketch too big" when i went to verify.

features file, i got this from the library folder.

rimai wrote:Was almost there

tried it and it says sketch is too big.

Roberto,
i'm getting multiple errors on the cloud.
i attached my pde, can you please check? thanks a bunch.

ActinicPWMValue=PWMSlope(10,00,22,15,0,50,40,ActinicPWMValue); DaylightPWMValue=PWMSlope(10,00,22,15,0,50,40,DaylightPWMValue); CheckCloud(); ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(ActinicPWMValue); ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(DaylightPWMValue); do i need to change the values? like 10,00 and 22,15? or leave it as ...

i get an error:
"DaylightPWMValue" was not declared in this scope

DaylightPWMValue=ReversePWMSlope(cloudstart,cloudstart+cloudduration,DaylightPWMValue,0,180);

i have a metal halide ,vho,water return pump ,dont have the moonlight but want to add one ,lighting cooling fans ,and 3 koraellia water flow pumps,heater,skimmer....from what i gather if you have the mh bulbs you have to hook it to the computor (am i right on that ) and as far as the wave action go...

all these codes look mind bogalling ...i dont know if i will be able to do all that ..im interested in getting a countroller ...but its very intimadating to me aaaaggggggggggggghhhhh ...lol just how easy is this the controller already comes precoded, you don't need to code to use the controller out...

ok, thanks.

can someone help me with cloud cover/ storms?
i only have 2 drivers, 1 for whites and 1 blues.
i tried searching the PDE, but i find it confusing.
