So I am having successes with the custom menus but what i want is an option to turn my lights on at anytime to full brightness. it says that the class PWMSetPercent doesnt exist but you had said in the manual that it does. what am I missing

Is it for the standard dimming channels or expansion module?

Expansion Module i am using channels 0-3

Try this:

Code: Select all

void MenuEntry8()
{
  if (ReefAngel.PWM.GetChannelOverrideValue(0)<=100)
  {
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannelOverride(0,255);
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannelOverride(1,255);
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannelOverride(2,255);
  }
  else
  {
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannelOverride(0,100);
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannelOverride(1,100);
    ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannelOverride(2,100);
  }
}

So That logically makes sense to me but i got an error

" Clouds2:91: error: 'class RA_PWMClass' has no member named 'GetChannelOverrideValue' "

Thats the same problem I was having



Another question in the code you gave I understand the 0, 1, 2 those correspond to the channels but what is the 255? and why cant you just force it to go full brightness why do you need the if and else statements?

If the lights are overriden, put them back to normal otherwise override them.

255 is the default (non overriden value)

Sounds like you have older libraries. Try installing the latest versionx

Yeah, if you override them to 100%, you would need a way to put them back to normal mode, right?
That's why I made the if...else statement or you would be forever in 100%

That makes perfect sense! so I just uninstalled and re installed the reef controller program. no luck it is giving me the same issue.


What are the eagle files? i haven't figured out what they are or where they go? I am kinda assuming that missing them is my problem.

What do you get when you do to Tools->Reef Angel Libraries Version?
Eagle files are the files to create the PCB. You don't need them.

O ok that looks cool I will check tonight when I get home What version should I have?

I did delete all files and re install the RA arduino program, so i should have the most up to date!
