Try something like this:

Code: Select all

 
if (ReefAngel.DCPump.Mode==Custom)
{
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic( ElseMode(ReefAngel.DCPump.Speed,20,true ));                     // ElseMode on sync mode, Portal Speed Setting +/- 20%
}
If you wanted to use the Duration parameter as well to affect the offset:

Code: Select all

 
if (ReefAngel.DCPump.Mode==Custom)
{
  ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic( ElseMode(ReefAngel.DCPump.Speed,ReefAngel.DCPump.Duration,true ));                     // ElseMode on sync mode, Portal Speed Setting +/- 20%
}
I have Vortech MP40s so I have no need to use the DCPump class.. thats why you won't find it in my code. However the RF Pump is very similar so alot of my code that I use to bypass the stock RF function is mostly valid. The only thing we are missing is the ability to SetMode and specify which channel to write to so we could control the Sync / AntiSync modes seperately... it's an easy fix, but I haven't had time to write it.

If I wanted to use either of what you have above I would need to set the DCPumps to use the internal memory with this code...

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = true;
Correct?

Also the duration on the Portal is in what measurement?
Seconds, Milliseconds?

Not necessarily. You only need use memory true if you are controlling through portal.

It depends on the function being used on. But typically its seconds.

What is the pump doing or not doing? Code looks OK, but I'm not familiar with the portal pump control so I might be missing something.

if I use this code (elsemode) the pump stays at 20%, if I replace the code with the reefcrest line below it works fine

Code: Select all

 ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( ReefCrestMode(70,30,true) ); // ReefCrest at 70% +/- 30% on sync mode

What he said. :D I'm guessing the use memory overrides the custom?

what do these two lines do?

} else {

It tells the ReefAngel class to not use memory which would use the speed and duration (mode is already custom) not to reset from memory.

I relooked at the code i dont see any issues. Where are you seeing the speed stuck at? Are you looking at the PWM value or the pump settings?

The controller screen shows 20, portal shows 20 and doesn't show the the pump settings. I must have something wrong but cant see it.
Also it the pumps runs really slow and the it stops

Are you using the portal to change modes?

No, should I? I really just want to run your elsemode on one pump connected to the daylight channel.

Easy! Take out all this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = true;
              
        if (ReefAngel.DCPump.Mode==Custom)
    {
      ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( ElseMode(70,30,true ));                     // ElseMode on sync mode, 70 +/- 30%
    ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = false;
    } else {
    ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = true;
    }

And use this instead:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( ElseMode(70,30,true ));                     // ElseMode on sync mode, 70 +/- 30%

I believe it reads the mode set by the portal. I don't use the portal for pump control so I'm not for certain.

Exactly what it does. The Custom option was added as a drop down selection in the portal so that users could define their own mode which was what you were doing. I have a feeling if you never changed that it was not set to Custom and your mode was not getting triggered.

Where does the drop down in portal would show?

What do you mean if never changed it? where do I change it?

Thanks

In the portal under Internal Memory there is a section called DC Pumps

1st part: Go to Internal Memory and then the last tab is DC Pump. Under there is a drop down for the different modes and Custom is in there

I don't know the answer to the 2nd part.

Found it, what does the duration in portal determine? aren't the duration(s) determined by the mode in the sketch?


Thanks a lot

Some of the modes like ShortPulse / LongPulse and Nutrient Transport use Duration to set the pulse duration of the wave. You can fine-tune things with that field. I use that field in my custom modes for similar purposes.

That's great to know, that would make it so much easier to tune a wave....

So if I'm using reefcrest or this else mode that duration will not affect anything and be overlooked?

Is anyone running this mode on Anti-Sync with 2 Jebao's?

I was going to put a 2nd pump in my tank and set up on this mode in Anti sync with my first pump, but it doesn't seem that there is enough time between cycles for the 2nd pump to kick in.

My second pump just came in today and I was wondering the same thing.

Can the portal set anti sync modes ?

Re: My Jebao "Else" mode

Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2013 9:08 am

It does the anti-sync for the mode chosen. When you setup your code you can choose which pump is on sync and which would be anti.

If you want two different modes you'll need to create a custom mode.
