Relay expansion and 12v

[cody.sheridan-2008]

Hi all,

I want to have 2 relays and also be able to have the 12v power control expansion. Is this possible to do with the wizard?

Cheers
Cody

Sure you can
Up to 8 mix/match total

Thanks rimai, how do I get them to display in the wizard so I can program them?

I don't think the wizard can do that, but the code would be the same, except for the port you are using.
For example.
For the 1st box:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box1_Port1);

And for the 2nd Box:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box2_Port1);

And for the power control:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box3_Port1);

The 12v Power Control module shows up in the wizard like any other relay expansion.

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Relay.On(Box3_Port1);

So could I generate the code with the wizard and copy paste it in?

This is my current stuff from the wizard, could you give an example of what it would look like if I had another relay with the same settings? Or just a few examples.

    // This should always be the last line
    ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
}

Much appreciated.

I already posted a few examples a couple posts back.
Anywhere you see PortX, it refers to a port in the main box. All references to the 1st relay box have Box1_PortX.
Let's suppose you now have 2 relay boxes and 1 power control with this configuration:
ID1 - Relay Box
ID2 - Relay Box
ID3 - Power control
You can change the ID through the dip switch inside the module. Check the manual for more info.
So, all ports of the 2nd relay box would be called Box2_PortX and all ports of the power control would be called Box3_PortX.
Let's say you want to use your heater on the 1st port of the 2nd relay box. The code would be like this:

Code: Select all

    ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Box2_Port1,240,250 );

Thanks Roberto, I think I have it now. Been playing around with my unit a bit.

Is it possible to get one of the small box's that come with the Relay expansion? I have the main box already... would prefer to spend the money on other expansions/attachments.
