Reef Angel Forum

Hi, bear with me - I've only been using RA for 24 hours ( but I am a coder ).

I used the wizard to generate the following code:
void setup()
{
// This must be the first line
ReefAngel.Init(); //Initialize controller
ReefAngel.AddStandardMenu(); // Add Standard Menu

ReefAngel.Use2014Screen(); // Let's use 2014 Screen
ReefAngel.AddPHExpansion(); // pH Expansion Module
// Ports toggled in Feeding Mode
ReefAngel.FeedingModePorts = Port2Bit;
// Ports toggled in Water Change Mode
ReefAngel.WaterChangePorts = Port1Bit | Port2Bit | Port3Bit | Port4Bit;
// Ports toggled when Lights On / Off menu entry selected
ReefAngel.LightsOnPorts = Port3Bit | Port4Bit;
// Ports turned off when Overheat temperature exceeded
ReefAngel.OverheatShutoffPorts = Port1Bit | Port3Bit | Port4Bit;
// Use T1 probe as temperature and overheat functions
ReefAngel.TempProbe = T2_PROBE;
ReefAngel.OverheatProbe = T2_PROBE;
// Set the Overheat temperature setting
InternalMemory.OverheatTemp_write( 830 );
InternalMemory.ActinicOffset_write(30);

// Ports that are always on
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port2 );
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port3 );
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port4 );

////// Place additional initialization code below here


////// Place additional initialization code above here
}

void loop()
{
ReefAngel.StandardHeater( Port1,771,781 );
//ReefAngel.StandardFan( Port5,771,781 );
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( PWMSlope(10,0,16,0,0,100,30,15) );
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic( PWMSlope(9,30,17,0,0,100,30,15) );
////// Place your custom code below here


//deal with hood fan
if (ReefAngel.Params.Temp[T1_PROBE] >= 950) ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port5); // If sensor 1 temperature >= HighTemp - turn on fan
if (ReefAngel.Params.Temp[T1_PROBE] <= 785) ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port5); // If sensor 1 temperature <= LowTemp - turn off fan


////// Place your custom code above here

// This should always be the last line
ReefAngel.ShowInterface();
}


The issue is that at 8am, the white and actinic pwm channels are still @ 15% and I suspect the tank spent the night @ 15%

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

The last parameter is the % that it will output when not in your light cycle.
Change that to a zero.

omg... i'm such a tool!

Thanks a million!

Doesn't setting that to 0 disable the lights on feature?

nope. the lights on actually overrides the channels no matter what.

What Dimming % does lights on override with? Is this an adjustable value?

It uses the LED PWM Daylight and Actinic values stored in the internal memory.
You can change them with the standard menu or with the android app.
