I need help modifiying this Cloud Effect PDE

Post by 02vetteboy »

Hi,

I am still trying to get my head wraped around this whole coding thing and need some help changing this PDE file to use just channel 0 and 1 on the PWM expansion module. I want to run the day light LED's off channel 0 and the Actinic LED's off channel 1. THank you for all the help and such a great community. One more question. When I go to add this to my Reef Angel PDE file does this just get out in the setup and Loop sections. I guess the first part of the code is what is throwing me off a bit on its location.

Thanks
Duston

Your code looks good.
Did you try running it?

This is the code you help another gentalmen with a while back. He is using 4 PWM channels I want to change it to just using the first two channels of the PWM expansion box. I currently do not have the Reef Angel controller with me due to being deployed over seas. I cant wait to get back and have a chance to paly with it.

Thank you Roberto for the quick reply.

So one last question. Do I just past this in the setup and loop sections?

No, this is it.
You can use as is. :)
It's got everything in there.
All you need to do is get your relay functions in this code, like StandardLights, which would go in the loop section.
Roberto.
