Delay skimmer restarting after feeding mode

[Sebyte]

I have recently changed the pump on my RSM 250 skimmer to the latest model. I now get over skimming right after feeding.

Is there a way to delay the port the skimmer is on for say one hour after using the feeding mode on the RA Head unit?

The port is coded to be always on apart from during feeding.

yes, you can. Instead of having the ports be "On" inside setup(), use "DelayedOn()" inside the loop(). This will delay the port from turning on at startup and after feeding and water change modes. I believe the usage is:

Code: Select all

 ReefAngel.DelayedOn(Port1, 60);

the second parameter is in minutes. i believe you can also use the internal memory as well.

Thanks Curt, I will give it a try.
