Guys im running this code for my AI Sols. the moonlights are stuck at 48% throughout the day. How can i run these lights as true moonlights. Ideally I would like to let the lights to their thing and when its time for moonlughts at 10pm... i would like the blue to go to 2% and the Royal blue to go to 1%

ReefAngel.Relay.Set( Port2, !ReefAngel.Relay.Status( Port5 ) );
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port3,11,0,15,0 );
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port4,11,0,20,0 );
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port5,9,0,19,0 );
ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port7,780,800 );
ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn( Port8,2 ); //Skimmer
ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( White, PWMParabola(11,0,17,0,0,60,0) );
ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( Blue, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,100,15) );
ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( RoyalBlue, MoonPhase() );
ReefAngel.RF.UseMemory = false;
ReefAngel.RF.SetMode( ReefCrest,85,10 );
ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel( Radion_White, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,0,60,0) );
ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel( Radion_RoyalBlue, MoonPhase() );
ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel( Radion_Red, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,65,15) );
ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel( Radion_Green, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,50,15) );
ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel( Radion_Blue, MoonPhase() );
ReefAngel.RF.SetChannel( Radion_Intensity, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,94,15) );

The MoonPhase() function actually outputs the actual % of the moon for the day.
That's why it is 48%. It changes everyday and adjusts to the % of the full moon.
What you are asking is just static blue light that will always be the same.

Change this: To this: The last number is the parabola function is what you want to have after the light photo-period.

Roberto, is there anyway to put a constraint formula into the moonphase function? Cause 48% is too bright

Change this:

Code: Select all

 ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( White, PWMParabola(11,0,17,0,0,60,0) );
 ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( Blue, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,100,15) );
 ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( RoyalBlue, MoonPhase() );

To this:

Code: Select all

 ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( White, PWMParabola(11,0,17,0,0,60,0) );
 ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( Blue, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,100,1) );
 ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( RoyalBlue, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,100,2) );

The last number is the parabola function is what you want to have after the light photo-period.

Yeah, simply divide by whatever...
Let's say divide by 20 and you will get 0-5%.
Try this:

Awesome. Thank you.

 ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( Blue, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,100,MoonPhase()/20) );
 ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( RoyalBlue, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,100,MoonPhase()/20) );

ReefAngel.AI.SetChannel( Blue, PWMParabola(9,0,20,0,15,100,MoonPhase()/20) );

Roberto, is their a way to set a minimum intensity for the moonlights.

I want to do something where the result of the Moon phase string is evaluated (MoonPhase()/5) and if less then 4 then default to 4 (min).

Can this be done?

Thanks
