Unable to control dosing pumps from Client Suite

[JJones]

Originally, I had manually programmed a code to run the dosing pumps but decided to change and try and run them from the Client Suite, but this has not worked. I am able to turn them on and off from the Iphone app, so I know they can be controlled remotely. Not sure what I am missing?

I only changed the pde file, and not any memory settings. Could this be the issue?

Thanks!

What do you mean by run the doser from the Client Suite?

[JJones]

The memory tab on the Client Suite has a place to input the controls for the dosing pumps. Time to turn on, how long to run, and how often to turn on.

Ah, that is just memory settings.
You still need the dosingpump function on the PDE file.

Ok. What do I need to add besides the following:

ReefAngel.DosingPump1(Port5);
ReefAngel.DosingPump2(Port6);

Thanks!

That's all you need to add.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you use DosingPumps, you will not be able to use the Wavemaker1 and 2 functions the same currently because they both share the same timers and can interfere with each other.

Thanks, Curt. Luckily, that is not a problem for me as I don't use the wavemaker functions.

However, the dosing pumps code is currently in my file but I still cannot control when the dosing pumps turn on from the memory tab in client suite.

Hmmm...maybe the memory tab in client suite isn't uploading the dosing pump values appropriately (or to the right memory locations). I'd try changing the values using client suite and then check with the android/iphone app and see if the values were changed. If that doesn't work or help out, then maybe Dave will have to chime in for some assistance.

I played around with it some more and reset the unit and I was able to get it to start working, odd.

On a separate note, the Iphone app does not have the dosing pump controls in the memory section. Is there any way we can get that added?

Glad to see it's working for you now.

You are going to have to ask wolfador about that one. He is the one maintaining the iPhone app. I just handle the Android app and java Status app.
