Good evening all... Im trying to setup my skimmer (port 7 on a delay start of 5 mins) Here is the code im using... its not wokring at the moment

void setup()
{
ReefAngel.Init(); // Initialize Controller
ReefAngel.AddStandardMenu();
ReefAngel.AddDateTimeMenu();
ReefAngel.FeedingModePorts = Port5Bit | Port6Bit; // Turn off Ports 5 and 6 when Feeding Mode is activated
ReefAngel.WaterChangePorts = Port1Bit | Port5Bit | Port6Bit | Port7Bit | Port8Bit; // Turn off Ports 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8 when Water Change Mode is activated

ReefAngel.LightsOnPorts = Port3Bit | Port4Bit; // Turn on/off Ports 3 and 4 when Light On/Off menu option is selected
ReefAngel.OverheatProbe = T1_PROBE; // Use Temperature probe 1 to check for overheat
// Ports that are always on
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port1 ); // Return Pump
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port5 );
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port6 );
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port7 );
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port8 );

// Hardcode PH calibrations
ReefAngel.PHMax=830; // PH10.0
ReefAngel.PHMin=544; // PH7.0

}

void loop()
{
ReefAngel.LCD.DrawLargeText(COLOR_STEELBLUE,COLOR_WHITE,28,121,"Edwin's Reef"); // Display Reef Angel banner


//Light instructions
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port2,19,15,7,4 );//Refugium

ReefAngel.StandardHeater(Port8); // Heater
ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn( Port7,5 ); //Skimmer

ReefAngel.PWM.StandardDaylight(); // Dimming for Daylight Channel
ReefAngel.PWM.StandardActinic(30); // Dimming for Actinic Channel
ReefAngel.ShowInterface(); // Display everything on the LCD screen
}

Need to change the On function in your setup() to DelayedOn for Port7

Looks like you have it always on in one place in your code and delayed in another part of your code..

still not working .....

Remove ReefAngel.Relay.DelayOn (Port 8); In set up. Leave in loop

still no good....

Which Port is your Skimmer ? Port 7 or Port 8?

ReefAngel.StandardHeater(Port7); // Heater
ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn( Port8,2 ); //Skimmer

I have it on port 8

Hello All...

Based on my same code..... Listed in my last post...

I woke up this morning to find that my return pump was off. Its currently set to always on and was working the day before? The timing instructions are working fine. Not sure what happened with the return pump. Any ideas on this and how to get the delayed start to work?

When do you want delayed start to work? How have you tested to see if it works?

This is the reason I tested my new RA+ for 2 weeks before hooking it up to my tank. I wanted to get everything programmed and tested so I didn't have to worry about waking up, or coming home and find something not running like it should.

I set it up without any major issues, just some minor tweaking of the settings here or there.

When te unit comes back on from disconnect I want to delay the skimmer from coming on for. 5 mins. I've set this up and waited and it never came on.

By disconnect do you mean power loss?

Yes. In the instance of. Loss of,power

Make sure this is the only command referencing port 8...

ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn( Port8, 5); //Skimmer

That *should* be all you need...

That is all I have in my latest code. I don't get it.

What is your port 8 doing currently?

How are you powering on/off your RA?

By the power cord.

What is port 8 doing currently?

Can we see your full code and any errors when you upload?
