features file, i got this from the library folder.

ReefAngel_Features.h: (1 KiB) Downloaded 498 times

Posted: **Tue Sep 20, 2011 1:04 pm**

Use this instead:

#ifndef __REEFANGEL_FEATURES_H__
#define __REEFANGEL_FEATURES_H__


#define DisplayLEDPWM
#define wifi
#define SIMPLE_MENU


#endif  // __REEFANGEL_FEATURES_H__

i put this in the library and save it.

however, still getting "sketch too big" when i went to verify.

Make sure to replace everything in the ReefAngel_Feature.h file with that.

OK, verified it and no more errors.
lemme try it for a day or 2, see how it works.

i have this on my controller display
C00:00 L00:00 19
what does this mean?
TY.

it means you won't have clouds or lightning today.
Every midnight, the RA will check whether you have cloud or not.
And for every cloud you have, there's a chance of lightning.
You can change all the parameters on the defines within your code.

What time do you want the moonlight on?

simulate lunar cycle?
i dont know what time, can you give an advise?
my lights are from 12pm-930pm.

BTW, i've already tested this for 2 days, everything is working perfectly. although i didnt see any lihgtning yet since i put my chance of lightning at 30%.

I want to see a video of the lightining on your tank

Choose the time frame for moonlights. For your reference, I turn mine on at 9pm and off at 9am, but some people do opposite of lighting cycle.
Don't forget we are sharing the channel, so the moonlights will actually be on whenever you have your actinics on too.

Posted: **Thu Sep 22, 2011 7:50 pm**

when lightning is in forecast, i'll get a video.

if we are sharing with the actinic, wouldnt the actinic turn on if the moonlights are on?
we can simulate the lunar cycle intensity right?

It will not turn your LEDs on, because we are going to kill the relay that powers the drivers and change the PWM output to moon phase intensity.

ok. got it. relay is already on/off, it turns on at 11:58am and turns off at 9:32pm. so no problem there.

ok, thanks. will need to go to homedepot tomorrow to splice this thing.

i'll splice it together with my actinic led's right? but how come in the code it says lowATOPin?
i'm not using my ATO molex.

Roberto, this varies in intensity like the moon right?
TY.

Posted: **Thu Sep 22, 2011 9:09 pm**

The lowATOPin is commented out. It's reminescent of previous code.
Yes, it will vary according to moon phase and you should splice with the Actinic channel.

thanks Roberto!

it's working, nice, real cool.
do you think i need another moonlight for a 3ft tank?

Posted: **Fri Sep 23, 2011 8:29 pm**

I have a 3ft tank and I use 2.
But I can see it with just one in the center, with just some lack of coverage at the extremities.

Hey Robert et al,
Can you please help me with my MoonPhase code? I have the Meanwell P drivers so I need them to start at 15 but I want them at 0 for a period of time.

I'd like to have:

from 12:30PM to 6:00PM - PWMChannel[LEDPWM3]=PWMSlope(12,30,22,00,15,60,240,PWMChannel[LEDPWM3])

from 6:00PM to 4:00AM (next day) -
PWMChannel[LEDPWM3]=MoonPhase()

from 4:00AM to 12:30PM -
PWMChannel[LEDPWM3]=0;

Thanks.

-J

Try this:

Code: Select all

  if (now()>ScheduleTime(12,30,0) && now()<=ScheduleTime(18,0,0))
     PWMChannel[LEDPWM3]=PWMSlope(12,30,22,00,15,60,240,PWMChannel[LEDPWM3])
  else if (now()>ScheduleTime(18,0,0) || now()<=ScheduleTime(4,0,0))
    PWMChannel[LEDPWM3]=MoonPhase();
  else
    PWMChannel[LEDPWM3]=0;

Thanks Robert. So far, so good.
