Jebao Reef Crest question

[Smotz]

I have my reefcrest set to 45,12 - why does it go as low as 25% - shouldn't this give me a min of 33% and a max of 57%?

[ReeferBee]

Good question. Same thing with mine, not sure why this happens.

Curious if your pump is set to sync or antisync?

[rimai]

If you are using the dosing pump class, it is hard coded to +/-10% for lagoon and +/-20% for reefcrest

[lnevo]

DCPump class you mean...your getting ahead of me...need to put that bit together

[ReeferBee]

Daylight is true
Actinic is false

So anti sync... Right?



it's pre set to 20 so if you put 12 like the OP it's combined? Like 32 + - ?

[ReeferBee]

I don't know what dcpump class is lol

Where are you putting 12?

Where are you putting 12?

wpWavStr=45;
wpWavOff=12;
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( ReefCrest,wpWavStr,wpWavOff );

This is the SetMode function for the DCPump class:

Code: Select all

void DCPumpClass::SetMode(byte mode, byte speed, byte duration)

This is the SetMode function for the DCPump class:

Code: Select all

void DCPumpClass::SetMode(byte mode, byte speed, byte duration)

can you elaborate how i would use that base on my code?
ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( ReefCrest,wpWavStr,wpWavOff );

[rimai]

You can't.
Like I said.
Reef Crest is hard coded to 20% and Lagoon to 10%.
If you want to do your own function, you will need to use the custom mode.

what is the correct way to use reefcrest in custom mode?

[lnevo]

Code: Select all

if (ReefAngel.DCPump.Mode==Custom) {
ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory=false;
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight(ReefCrestMode(ReefAngel.DCPump.Speed,ReefAngel.DCPump.Duration, ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel-1));
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic(ReefCrestMode(ReefAngel.DCPump.Speed,ReefAngel.DCPump.Duration, ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel-1));
} else {
ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory=true;
}

although Roberto, I think we should allow Duration to be part of the default mode for ReefCrest. You could say ReefAngel.DCPump.Duration for Lagoon and ReefAngel.DCPump.Duration*2 for ReefCrest. That's my $.02 Just seems a waste of custom mode :)

Isn't it just going to confuse people?
Set offset with the duration field?

I know I'm confused.

I set my reefcrest to a certain strength depending on the hour. I wanted to take advantage of the new class and just set my portal settings to custom.

I don't know... makes perfect sense to me.
