Okay, pH control is done and I'm back to the RF module again. It's doing almost everything I want, in and out of night mode and feeding modes but the Nutrient Transport mode isn't working as expected.

The Nutrient Tranpsort mode has two phases with a wave motion phase and surge phase. It's doing the wave motion phase okay but it's not going into the surge phase. Can you take a look at my code and see what I might be missing?

I did try using the wizard for this but I couldn't get the feeding mode didn't work correctly. The vortech pumps would only stay in feeding mode a few seconds before reverting back to nutrient transport. I copied most of this from someone elses code and just removed their automatic feeding cycles. I also noticed the wizard called the mode as NutrientTransport and the user I copied code from called it as Smart_NTM, not sure if there is a difference?

Re: Just getting started, need help with lights first

Post by reefer gladness »

I'd like to be in Nutrient Transport during the day from 1000 to 2300 and night mode from 2300 to 1000. Feeding mode when I send the command from the android app, that's pretty much it.

I thought it was doing all that but I'm noticing the Nutrient Transport isn't doing the same 2 phase cycle that it did when I used the Ecosmart drivers. When I put in in Nutrient Transport using the stock wireless drivers it goes through wave motion phase and then a surge phase. It's doing the wave motion phase okay but I've yet to see it go through the surge phase. I use two MP-10's in that are set in anti-sync mode. One driver is glowing orange saying it's on the same side as the master pump and the other white saying it's on the opposite side. The RF module is a solid purple.

Many thanks again for the quick responses :D

Code is uploaded and I'll watch it for awhile to see how the nutrient transport mode behaves. It went into feeding mode okay and stayed there.

I was about to ask where I change the speed and duration values but found that's using internal memory which I could control from the andriod app, very cool 8-)

Okay, I've been watching the vortech pumps for awhile now and haven't seen them go through the surge phase of the nutrient transport mode. Everything works as it did before using the longer version of code I posted but yours was shorter so thats a good thing.

The surge I'm referring to is the big swell shown in the graph below, it usually lasts several minutes when it starts. It seems unlikely to be an issue with the RF module since it goes in/out of feeding, night modes okay.
Anything else I can try? I'm assuming the modes are behave the same as the Ecosmart drivers.

It should do... Not sure why you are not getting it.
I know that the entire cycle lasts for 2.5 hours. The entire cycle is represented in the graph you posted.
I just changed mine right now. In 45 minutes, it will go into the next phase (surge phase).
I'll let you know what happens.

Okay, many thanks again for testing that. I just rebooted the controller and moved the RF units around a bit again. They are all within 6 inches of each other with no obstructions. I'll check back in 45 minutes.

Unfortunately no surge after 45 minutes. Anything else we can try?

Are you sure you have the RF mode set to 5?

I checked the internal memory using the andoid app to read the value at location 855 and it says 5. The Vortech page on the android app also says Nutrient.

Ok, assuming you are running latest libraries, which is v1.0.1 at the moment, you need to change one setting on the app.
Go to Settings->Settings and uncheck Pre v.10 Locations.
This should change the locations to the 200s.
The location should be 255 and not 855 anymore.
On v1.0, we had to relocate the table due to several issues.
What do you have on 255??

Checked the version and it's on v1.0.1. I unchecked the Pre v.10 locations box which changed the memory location from 855 to 255 for the RF Mode, it still reads the value as 5.

Oh, I know why you are having problems now :)
Your code is resetting the NTM mode all the time when you send Feeding Stop command.
Replace this:

Code: Select all

      ReefAngel.RF.SetMode(Feeding_Stop,0,0); //Temp fix for coming out of Night mode
With this:

Code: Select all

      if (vtechmode==9) ReefAngel.RF.SetMode(Feeding_Stop,0,0); //Temp fix for coming out of Night mode

Appears to be working okay now, it just went into the surge phase. Awesome support again, thanks for all the help. :D
