Dosing pump question

[cosmith71]

I have two dosing pumps I would like to run once a day for a set period of time. Note, I am also running a Swabbie using the memory locations for pump 1.

I have the following in void setup()

Code: Select all

int Dispense = 90;                // Amount in ml of 2 part to dispense
    ReefAngel.DosingPump(AlkPump, 2, 19, 00, Dispense/0.67);      // Alk pump runs at 0.67 ml/sec
    ReefAngel.DosingPump(CalPump, 3, 20, 00, Dispense/0.61);     // Ca+ pump runs at 0.61 ml/sec

I'm trying to run Alk at 7 pm and Cal at 8 pm (once a day), for a calculated amount of time. It doesn't appear to be turning on. What did I do wrong?

Thanks,

Nevermind, got it. Needs to go in void loop().

Oh wow...
I missed the part you said setup...
I was going to look at this after dinner.

No problem. It was a good learning experience.

Do the timer numbers (2 and 3, above) matter?

Oh yes...
Use 1 and 2
3 is LCD timer

[cosmith71]

How will the choice of timers affect the Swabbie, which runs every 4 hours? Will it be a problem if they overlap?

How did you code the swabie?

[cosmith71]

Like this:

Code: Select all

    ReefAngel.DosingPumpRepeat1( Swabbie );

Oh, you are good...
The repeat version doesn't use the timer.
