RODI Solenoid Valve

[Drs1210]

I bought a 12v RODI solenoid valve that I would like to use for my RODI reservoir, the only problem is I'm not sure how to put this in my code. I want to use two float switches, one to show that the reservoir is full, and the other to show that it is low. The valve is normally closed, so I want the RA to turn on a port once the low float switch is turned on, and to turn it back off once the high float switch is set.

Try this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardATO(Port1,60);

Is the 60 for how many seconds it will run? If so, I will need it to run for much longer then that. My reservoir is ten gallons, and I'm not to sure how long it will take to fill it completely.

60s is the timeout. It kills the port if it exceeds. Safety for overflow. You can change it to whatever you want.

How would you code it if you didn't want it on a timer?

[rimai]

Code: Select all

if (ReefAngel.LowATO.IsActive()) ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port1);
if (!ReefAngel.HighATO.IsActive()) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port1);

Thank you very much!

Isnt that StandardATO() behavior?
