Setting Nutrient Mode when in Feeding Mode.

How would I code switching my WP-40 to Nutrient Mode when I hit the Feeding Mode on the menu, the Andriod App or the Web Portal?
This is what I currently have.
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(MyCustomWave(50));
if( ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==FEEDING_MODE ) ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);
if( ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==WATERCHANGE_MODE ) ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(0);
if (hour()<12 || hour()>=22) ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(30);
////// Place your custom code below here
Would it be...
Code: Select all
if( ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==FEEDING_MODE ) ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic( NutrientTransportMode(25,35,600,true));

This does work.
I tried it when I got home. I need to tweak the speeds though.

Remember with Nutrient Transport mode, I think I remember Roberto saying it takes ~1 1/2 hours to complete...

Most people run it *after* feeding mode.

Thanks.
So how would I code the Nutrient Transport to start when my 10 min Feeding Mode is over and then go back to my Custom Wave ~2 1/2 hours later when the Nutrient Transport is over?

This is how I did it for PaulTurner911
Code: Select all
static unsigned long feeding;
if (ReefAngel.DisplayedMenu==FEEDING_MODE)
feeding = now();
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( 0 );
} else if (now()-feeding<=3600) { // next 60 minutes will be in NTM
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( NutrientTransportMode(min,max,duration*100,true) );
}
If you are using the new DCPump setup, you will need to set ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory=false;
And make sure this code happens AFTER any other settings you may have for the pump or it will get lost.

What does the

It seems like something is missing before it like an ( or //

It is declaring the variable feeding which records the last time feeding mode was active. feeding is an unsigned long which is big enough to hold the number of seconds since 1970. Its static so the variable isn't reinitialized to 0 at the beginning of each loop(). Hope that helps.
