Best way to build my coding?

Post by ingtar_shinowa »

I want to have some very basic function as well as some greater functions. For now im looking to build a refugium schedule, basic ATO heaters pump skimmer, reactors, and wavemaker:

Code: Select all

    void setup()
    {
       randomSeed(analogRead(0));
        ReefAngel.Init();  //Initialize controller   
        ReefAngel.Timer[1].SetInterval(random(15,35));
        ReefAngel.Timer[1].Start(); 
        ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port5);
    }

    void loop()
    {
        ReefAngel.ShowInterface();

    if ( ReefAngel.Timer[1].IsTriggered() )
          {
            ReefAngel.Timer[1].SetInterval(random(15,35));
            ReefAngel.Timer[1].Start();
            ReefAngel.Relay.Toggle(Port5);
            ReefAngel.Relay.Toggle(Port6);
           }
    }
Should I build my PDE piece-mail then put it all together with custom port names?

Also how would i put in a menu item for changing media for my reactors?

Sorry for the beginner post but im not a big programming guy.

I think you should start with RAGen:

I had the same problem with RAGEN. Try this....

It's because the paths are wrong.
Try this then:
1. Download the static version:
https://github.com/downloads/curtbinder ... static.zip
2. Try running is as administrator
3. Make sure to go to menu Edit->Settings
4. Set the path of the folders to the following:
Sketch: Documents\Arduino
Libraries: Documents\Arduino\libraries
Arduino: C:\Program Files\Reef Angel Controller
5. Click Ok.
6. You can now delete the static version if you want to.

I hope this works now.

Figured it out. My anti virus was interfearing.

The code I made is ato on 1, return pump on 2, skimmer on 3, powerheads 4&5, reactors on 6, heaters on 7, and fuge lights on 8.

For H2O/reactor change with simple menu I turn off ATo, skimmer, return, and reactor pump.

Feed mode just turns off my main powerheads.

Now in order to insert the wavemaker code into this set up do I need to mess with the memory setting? I just put in the standard setting which I need to change to work reverse lighting on the fuge light since with the RAGen code it works off memory?

Or should I build my code with 4 and 5 not used, then add in the code above?

The wavemaker code is already in there:

Code: Select all

    ReefAngel.Wavemaker1(Port4);
    ReefAngel.Wavemaker2(Port5);
But I would strongly recommend you putting the wavemakers on ports 5 and 6 by generating it again with RAGen.

One of the reason I want to alter the settings is for the random flow between 15-35 seconds.

OK here it is swapped around

1 ATO
2 Return
3 Skimmer
4 Reactors
5 left flow
6 right flow
7 heaters
8 fuge light

Ok, if you want the random action, I updated your code for your reference:

Might try leaving out the data time feature in ragen. Seems it takes up quite a bit of space.

Binary sketch size: 31196 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum)

doesnt matter how many feature i pull out it say the same thing.

I fin this a little frustrating seeing how much other people are doing with their units. I have to be doing something wrong.

Use the simple menu feature.
It'll reduce quite a lot, actually.

DO I need to wipe my memory file and reload it with less 'stuff' in it, the things i dont need (MH lighting, dosing, etc), in order to lower my sketch size?

No, the memory file just sets the values to the Internal Memory for use with the sketch / program files later on.

The more things you enable in the Features file (Features Tab in the program), the larger the sketch size will be.
Date & Time Setup requires a lot of space, so it's advised to not include it.
Simple Menu reduces a lot of space, so it's advised to use it.

If you are using the Client Suite or any of the monitoring applications (Android, iPhone/iPad apps or Status App), you must have wifi enabled for communications with the controller. Wifi does require a lot of space.

Bottom line, the more stuff you have the controller do, the larger the sketch size will be.

Make sure the paths are set correctly too, like the earlier post:
