Wp40 feed mode

I have my wp40 hooked up to the PWM port on the relay box and when I select feed mode it doesn't change it. How can I set the PWM ports on the relay box to turn off during feed mode?

Code: Select all
if( ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==FEEDING_MODE )
{
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(0);
}
depending on which pwm port your wp40 is connected to you may need to take away daylight or actinic.

You could do something like this:
Code: Select all
if ( ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu == FEEDING_MODE ) {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(0);
} else {
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(100);
}
That would set the PWM Daylight port to 0 when you are in feeding mode then back to 100% when not in feeding mode.
What you would do, is put your standard controlling mode/functionality in the else statement where I set the PWM percent to 100%. There are lots of other examples on the forum, you just need to search for FEEDING_MODE and that should give you examples.
