PWM Readings

[Paulturner911]

Tonights moon is 62%. My channels read actinic 42% daylight 20%. I'm only using one port currently. I get that it adds up to 62, why doesn't it just have 62% on my actinic side? Also I'm not sure, but does the moonlight kit run all day? It seems to be illuminated every time I see it. Thanks guys.... Between Roberto and Lee I'm pretty sure I could take on the world with the help they provide!

My moonphase is at 42% on mine tonight... Not sure where the 20% is coming from.

It will be on all day unless you put an if statement around the SetActinic function that sets the percentage so it's only on when you want them on..

[Paulturner911]

I kind of thought they stayed on all of the time...no biggie really, I can live with that. I just find it odd that my PWM readings show Actinic 42% and daylight 20%, while Im not using the daylight port. I did originally have both ports set to moon phase since I wasnt sure which one I had it plugged into. Maybe that could have something to do with it? I have since deleted that line of code. Does yours read 20% also on the daylight port? When I googled the moonphase it said 62 tonight. I would think the port set on moonphase would read that!??!
Thanks again for the code on the ATO/Kalk doser...Ill graph my ph swing tomorrow while at work to see if it improves. Its not too rough right now, but every bit helps. The probe seems a little choppy, as it never stays on the hundredth very long (8.15-8.16-8.15), maybe I should calibrate it again a bit longer on both 7 and 10?

Mine are both set to moonphase so i dont have that issue. Try adding SetDaylight(0);

The code to have them on only when you want is not hard...you have them template from your kalk function...

Try out the syntax here and we can help you tweak it...

Anything like this? Id like them to come on at 9pm and off at 10am.
I also see codes with // infront does that make a "comment" with in your code so you konw what functions are with out affecting the code?

if ( (hour() >=10) && (hour() <21) )
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);
else
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(moonphase);


Bear with me guys. Still very much a noob!

Good job
Just one typo though...
moonphase needs to be MoonPhase()

[Paulturner911]

I see....

if ( (hour() >=10) && (hour() <21) )
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);
else
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(MoonPhase() );
????

Can I put \\ before anything within my code like....

\\Moonlight 9-10
if ( (hour() >=10) && (hour() <21) )
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);
else
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(MoonPhase);
???

[rimai]

Yes... Anything after \\ in the same line is considered comments and won't do anything.

Thanks a bunch guys. I dont want to say Im getting it, but Im surely fumbling my way through it!

[lnevo]

Your comment slashes are backwards...although who knows they may work...the normal comment is //

You can also comment multiple lines or blocks if code with

/*
Comments in here..
*/

Good luck you are on your way!!!

[Paulturner911]

The slashes would NOT work, I got an error during verifying.
I also had an error in my PWM daylight
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(0) );
should have been
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(0) ;

But I got through it!!
Before I uploaded it I was going to ask if there is anything simple for screen change or custom menu I should do? I havent read much into them but Im going to start....
Thanks guys, I gotta crawl before I can walk

[lnevo]

Menus are a little tricky...there's an app to help generate menus though...

Thanks, Im gonna pass on that right now

Thanks, Im gonna pass on that right now

you can at least look at it to understand more. depending on what you customize with the menu, you can reduce the size of your code.

Why does my moon phase never match what this says??

It should be much closer after patch.

[Paulturner911]

Thanks! I just got my NEW order for you guys!! Still waiting on my WP40...
Any idea when the new libs gonna be released?
Im thinking I can knock it all out at once (never the case) and get the PWM installed, WP coded and the second moonlight hooked up with the updated libs.

I also read in the PWM manual that there were jumpers that needed to be installed inside the RA? Is this still the case? I didnt see any in my shipment.
