Jebao Connection to RA+

[Leafies]

I am working through connecting my new RA+ step by step here and one thing that has me puzzled is what ports I connect my Jebao controller cables to. The two ports on the relay box? or the two ports on the RA+? I've tried both and I have the code correct (I think) and they don't seem to be doing anything for me.

I have two Jebao wp-40's and a RA+ with bluetooth.

The ones on the head unit are ATO ports. Don't use those.
You need to use the dimming ports in the relay box.

I have the WP-40 pumps connected to the correct ports on the relay. I have rebooted the entire system and plugged the skimmer into the relay as a tester. The skimmer works perfectly with the relay box even with the programmed delay. I can hear the relay switching ports 5 & 6 on and off for the pumps and the display shows them cycling on and off however the pumps will not turn on and I am failing to understand what I am missing. Thanks

You don't need to use the wavemaker function. That is for non-controllable koralias. They simply turn on/off the relays.
Make sure that you checkmark DC Pump when you are generating the code in the wizard.

[Leafies]

To be honest I purchased these pumps for the wavemaker function... but I guess my question is if I select DC pump as I have in the wizard and I set the port to Wavemaker will the codes conflict with each other?

The jaebo pumps with the cable dont need the wavemaker. There are plenty of wave forms that you can use. The long pulse is like the wavemaker function.

I have never been able to get a wave form from Long pulse... Only short pulse... and it's a hell of a wave. in my 90 gallon at 70% power, 400ms intervals with the pump 10" below water line I Get a 2" wave.

Did you mean to say Short Pulse? Or is there something I am not figuring out to get waves from long pulse, because honestly, I'd rather avoid such rapid on/off's

[Leafies]

I believe that the pumps are connected properly at this point. While uploading the code via bluetooth, both pumps come on 100% power and once the code is uploaded and the RA+ is fully rebooted they both shut off. I have included my code below as I'm not sure what else to do here.

Which channel are they connected to?

[Leafies]

Success!! The problem was I had the sync/antisync settings wrong... after hours and hours of searching forums I found out that if you have two jebao's they have to be offsetting.

Code: Select all

void loop()
{
    ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port2,745,760 );
    ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn( Port3,5 );
    ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port4,20,0,6,0 );
    ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port7,8,0,21,0 );
    ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port8,9,0,20,0 );
    ReefAngel.DCPump.UseMemory = false;
    ReefAngel.DCPump.SetMode( LongPulse,40,10 );
    ReefAngel.DCPump.DaylightChannel = Sync;
    ReefAngel.DCPump.ActinicChannel = AntiSync;
    ////// Place your custom code below here
    
    ReefAngel.Portal("Leafies","key");
    ReefAngel.ShowInterface();

What does the offsetting do? (sorry, real newbi)

Edit: No worries - found out in the thread "wave patterns"
