ATO Timeout

[Threedo]

I used RAGen to change the ATO Timeout to 600 seconds but when i upload the code i go in the ATO menu and it says 88s... i try to increase it but it only goes to the 200s... Am i missing something? I need the ATO to run longer since my pump is slow.

I did it with mine and i just add this code:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardATO(Port1,300)

300 is the time in seconds.

[Threedo]

thanks i can give that a try

With the ATO functions there are some limits with the values. When using the StandardATO function, you can use a max of 32767 seconds. To be able to use this value, you must hard code it in your PDE/INO file (like symon_say did). If you use the InternalMemory functions and the menu, the max value you can use is 255. This is a limitation that I imposed on it to match up with the SingleATO function.

When using the SingleATO function, you can use a max of 255 seconds. The max value is the same using the hard coded values and menu system.

I found this to be a problem for me also so I modified SingleATO itself to multiply the value by 60, causing the timeout to be specified in minutes instead of seconds. I did this because I use an Aqualifter pump for ATO, which just trickles in the make up water. I had to set mine to 30 minute. I also only allow it to run every 60 minutes which prevents it from running in tiny little bursts everytime a little wave wiggles the ATO switch. Since it doesn't hurt an Aqualifter at all to run it dry it is not an issue if it runs for a full 1/2 hour before the ATO gives up.

[carlii]

How did you code the Single ATO to multiply by 60?

[rimai]

We extended the timeout on libraries version v0.9.5 and created a new function.
Which function are you using?

[carlii]

The single ATO function. I was using standard but I am using the high ATO to control my AI Sol which works amazingly by way!!!!

I need a time out of 30 minutes because I use an Aqualifter pump on a Single ATO switch. 255 seconds isn't long enough.

[rimai]

Try this:

Code: Select all

SingleATO(true,Port1,600,1);

true = Low ATO port
Port1 = port you are using for ATO pump
600 = timeout in seconds
1 = run only once per hour. To have it run many times per hour, just put 0.

[carlii]

Cool. Thanks.

[carlii]

I get an error in compile

No matching function for call to 'reefangelclass::SingleATOLow(int,int,int,int)'

[carlii]

Disregard I was using Reefangel.SingleatoLow not ReefAngel.SingleATO
