How do I set different schedules for different outlets

[Im2Nelson4u]

Hi, I have a freshwater planted tank that requires the CO2 to be turned on an hour before the lights turn on to build up CO2 level but I can't seem to do that in the Wizard.

I'm on version 1.07 (latest i think) on the original Reef Angel.

When I go through the wizard and set my Outlet #3 to turn on at 12PM for my LEDS and then set my Outlet #4 to turn on my CO2 at 11AM it changes the everything to 11AM. I know this because I pressed back and see that outlet 3 has been set to 11AM as well.

So long story short if I make changes to any of time schedule of an outlet, it changes the schedules of all the other outlets.

Is there anyway i can view the schedule on the reef angel client? I finally manage to get it working but can't figure out how to change the schedule through the client. I tried clicking the Memory Tab but i always get an error

"Unable to retrieve controller memory settings. Refer to log for more details."

I tried applying the RAmemory fix but it still doesnt work.

Ok so I did some more reading and finally fixed the client memory tab problem ( turns out I was using an outdated Memory.ini)

Anyways when I finally was able to access the memory tab on the client I realized that when you set the time schedule in the wizard it treats both of my outlet 3 & 4 as lights and will turn them on off at the same schedule. Is this anyway to have them at different schedules?

I resorted to using outlet 4 as actinic for my CO2 control. I set it for 60 minutes offset so now it comes on 1 hour before the LEDs begin to turn on but the new problem is it'll run for an hour after the lights are off.

The problem with this is my plants don't use CO2 when the lights are off and I run the risk of fish suffocating and a huge waste of CO2.

Is there anyway to just have the CO2 come on an hour before the lights but turn off at the same time as the lights?

I'm taking that you do want to use internal memory and not hard code settings, right?
So, you may need to use the function like this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardLights(Port3,InternalMemory.StdLightsOnHour_read()-1,InternalMemory.StdLightsOnMinute_read(),InternalMemory.StdLightsOffHour_read(),InternalMemory.StdLightsOffMinute_read());

Im sorry, im kinda new to this, where do I paste this code again in my sketch? also can u give a short explanation of what the code does?

Replace the current one you are using.
