Try this:

Code: Select all

#include <Salinity.h>
#include <ReefAngel_Features.h>
#include <Globals.h>
#include <RA_Wifi.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <Time.h>
#include <DS1307RTC.h>
#include <InternalEEPROM.h>
#include <RA_NokiaLCD.h>
#include <RA_ATO.h>
#include <RA_Joystick.h>
#include <LED.h>
#include <RA_TempSensor.h>
#include <Relay.h>
#include <RA_PWM.h>
#include <Timer.h>
#include <Memory.h>
#include <InternalEEPROM.h>
#include <RA_Colors.h>
#include <RA_CustomColors.h>
#include <RF.h>
#include <IO.h>
#include <ORP.h>
#include <AI.h>
#include <PH.h>
#include <WaterLevel.h>
#include <ReefAngel.h>

void setup()
{
  ReefAngel.Init();
  ReefAngel.Timer[FEEDING_TIMER].SetInterval(1200);
  ReefAngel.FeedingModePorts = Port8Bit;
  ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port8);
  
}

void loop()
{
  if(hour()==7 && minute()==55 && second()==0) ReefAngel.FeedingModeStart();
  if(hour()==18 && minute()==55 && second()==0) ReefAngel.FeedingModeStart();
  ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
}

sorry I should of told you feed mode should toggle relay 1 and 5

That's fine.
Just change this:

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.FeedingModePorts = Port8Bit;
  ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port8);

To this:

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.FeedingModePorts = Port1Bit | Port5Bit;
  ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port1);
  ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port5);

I take it I add this to the custom code section of the INO file?

Yes, but make sure you merge the two sections of the 3 custom sections.
The 1st section is for global variables declaration, which we did not use in this code.

Code: Select all

////// Place global variable code below here


////// Place global variable code above here

The 2nd section is inside the setup() function and deals with initializing stuff and only happens once, which would be this:

Code: Select all

    ////// Place additional initialization code below here
    
  ReefAngel.Timer[FEEDING_TIMER].SetInterval(1200);
  ReefAngel.FeedingModePorts = Port1Bit | Port5Bit;
  ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port1);
  ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port5);

    ////// Place additional initialization code above here

And the 3rd is the section inside loop(), which is stuff the controller will do stuff and monitor, which would be this:

Code: Select all

    ////// Place your custom code below here
    
  if(hour()==7 && minute()==55 && second()==0) ReefAngel.FeedingModeStart();
  if(hour()==18 && minute()==55 && second()==0) ReefAngel.FeedingModeStart();

    ////// Place your custom code above here

BTW, there is no harm if you placed everything in the 3rd section too...
You could have done that. The controller will do just the same thing in this case. Just for the point of view of code organization is we prefer to place the stuff where they should be and not simply bunch everything up in the same spot.
