New DCPump Modes - How to code???

Paul_Velasco · Post by **Paul_Velasco** » Wed Dec 31, 2014 8:06 am

Is there a place where the new modes are explained and how to code? Getting ready to upgrade to new LIB 1.1.1 and would like to include the new modes.

Thanks in advance and apologies if this has been answered before. I tried searching.

They're easy if you're using the DCPump libraries already.

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Else,midpoint,offset);

Generates a random flow from midpoint-offset to midpoint+offset. For example, if you use:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Else,50,20);

You'll get a random flow that ranges between 30 and 70.

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Gyre,speed,duration,threshold);

Generates a long, slow sine wave. Speed is the max speed, duration (in minutes), and threshold is the minimum speed. If you leave off threshold it will use 30 (or whatever you have set with DCPump.Threshold).

I'm not familiar with Sine. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Thanks man, you are always a great help!!!!

Anyone with the Sine mode help? Or will I be just duplicating with the Gyre Mode.

You're welcome!

Code: Select all

 ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( GyreMode(30,100,10,true); //Ramp up to 70% in 10mins in sync mode
 ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic( SineMode(30,100,10,true)); //Ramp up to 70% in 10mins in sync mode

GyreMode is not working?

cosmith71 · Post by **cosmith71** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 5:19 am

That code will run it from 30% to 10% over 100 minutes.

Jebao's generally don't work well under 30%. Also, this is a very long cycle time (1 hour 40 minutes). What is it not doing?

Paul_Velasco · Post by **Paul_Velasco** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 8:51 am

The pumps limit is right at 30%, verified operation at that level.
I thought the 10 was the duration, so 10 minutes not 100? Otherwise I will change the code.

It does not recognize GyreMode. The text, GyreMode, stays black in my IDE. Usually if accepted it will turn the text to orange. Load the program and the pump runs at 0% (Looking in my RA Client). I have Lib V 1.1.1 loaded as well. Else mode and Sine mode work perfect.

rimai · Post by **rimai** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 9:06 am

The color change on the text is probably an oversight on my part.
We can pick and choose which words turn which color.
I'll add GyreMode to the list.

Paul_Velasco · Post by **Paul_Velasco** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 11:15 am

So is duration wrong?

This is how I coded

GyreMode( Low %, High%, Duration min, bolean)

Is it really

GyreMode( Low %, Duration min, High%, bolean)

cosmith71 · Post by **cosmith71** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 11:20 am

I believe it's high, duration minutes, low.

--Colin

Paul_Velasco · Post by **Paul_Velasco** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 11:31 am

OK will try

I coded it in error at first, gave me compile error Too few arguments , GyreMode (Byte, Byte, Int, Boolean). So I thought the first two arguments were Low% and High%.

Will change to make the duration in the middle.

rimai · Post by **rimai** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 11:50 am

This is the function arguments:

Code: Select all

byte GyreMode(byte PulseMinSpeed, byte PulseMaxSpeed, int PulseDuration, boolean PulseSync);

There you go.

--Colin

Paul_Velasco · Post by **Paul_Velasco** » Wed Jan 14, 2015 7:22 pm

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight (GyreMode(40,100,10,true) ); // Short pulse at 60% with 200m
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(GyreMode(40,100,10,false) ); // Short pulse at 60% with 200ms pulse on anti-sync mode

(comments are wrong)

It is definitely not working with this code??? Anything amiss?

How is it not working? What is it doing/not doing?

--Colin

Paul_Velasco · Post by **Paul_Velasco** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 7:55 am

(I uncomment in the else statement and comment the other mode so the gyre is only one working)

When I look at the ReefClient on my desktop I get 0% for the pumps on the two channels when running GyreMode.
I physically look at the pumps and they are stopped.
Any of the other modes I run on those channels work perfectly.

Raised the lower limit to 40% thinking that may have been the problem.

Paul_Velasco · Post by **Paul_Velasco** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 7:30 am

Anyone have any ideas why Gyre is not working

cosmith71 · Post by **cosmith71** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 8:54 am

I uncommented the GyreModes and uploaded your code to one of my RA+ units. I manually changed the time to 1400 and 1900 and it worked both times.

The only thing I can recommend is doing an un-install/re-install of the the RA software on your computer. Maybe you have a corrupted library.

--Colin

cosmith71 · Post by **cosmith71** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 9:03 am

The only potential problem I see is that between 1400 and 1500 you have both pumps set to sync. That means they will both be on for 10 minutes and off for 10 minutes at the same time.

Ok I will change sync

}

It worked for me.

To Close this out:

Uninstalled and resinstalled Arduino application, did this twice. Then reinstalled once again last night and it worked?? No idea why it just worked.

Code: Select all
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Else,midpoint,offset);
Generates a random flow from midpoint-offset to midpoint+offset. For example, if you use:
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Else,50,20);
You'll get a random flow that ranges between 30 and 70.
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Gyre,speed,duration,threshold);
Generates a long, slow sine wave. Speed is the max speed, duration (in minutes), and threshold is the minimum speed. If you leave off threshold it will use 30 (or whatever you have set with DCPump.Threshold).

I'm not familiar with Sine. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Are these DCPump codes meant for a single pump? How do I code for 2 pumps connected to the Actinic and DayLight channels?

You will have lines like this in the setup section of your code

ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel = Sync;
ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel = AntiSync;

If you want to disable one channel you can set it to None.

If you want both pumps to do the same thing then set them both to Sync.

I have recoded like this. I do have

ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel = Sync
ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel = AntiSync

In the setup section.

///////Place your custom code below here

if (hour()>=4 && hour()<8)
{
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Sine, 30, 40);
}
else if (hour()>=8 && hour()<12)
{
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(TidalSwell, 55); // TidalSwell at 55%
}
else if (hour()>=12 && hour()<16)
{
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(millis();1200>750?50:0);
}
else if (hour()>=16 && hour()<19)
{
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(LongPulse, 0, 50, 10); // Long pulse at 0% to 50% with 10s pulse
}
else if (hour()>=19 && hour()<23)
{
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Else, 40, 10); // ElseMode 40 +/- 10%
}
else
{
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Gyre, 30, 50, 10); //GyreMode from 30% to 50% for 10 minutes
}

////// Place your custom code above here

When I run 'verify' code it compiles, except for:

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(TidalSwell, 55); and
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(millis();1200>750?50:0);

When I insert this:
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(TidalSwell, 55, true); it compiles for this mode. However 'millis' gives errors. How do I code for millis (standing wave like W1 in Jebao controller)?

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(TidalSwell 55); and
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(millis();1200>750?50:0);

You need 3 arguments to SetMode separated by a comma. Mode Speed and Duration. The first only has 2 and no comma and the second, that code block represents one argument and it represents a speed.

Try this:

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(TidalSwell,55,0);

ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode(Constant,millis();1200>750?50:0,0);
