Last question before I buy RA

[tkeracer619]

I am wanting to turn on an outlet for a few (20) seconds starting at minute intervals and repeat 3 or 4 times.

This seems like the only controller available atm that I might be able do this with.

On times would be...
7:55:00 - 7:55:20
7:56:00 - 7:56:20
7:57:00 - 7:57:20
7:58:00 - 7:58:20

... and so on.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,
Mark

Yeap... very easy

Code: Select all

  if (minute()<=3 && second()<=20) ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port1); else ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port1);

The above code would do:
7:00:00-7:00:20
7:01:00-7:01:20
7:02:00-7:02:20
7:03:00-7:03:20
But we can change it to be whatever minute range you need.
I just did 0 to 3 because it is the easiest to do.

Sick!

Thanks for your help

I put this into my pde and its operating at every hour instead of just at 7.


This is what I have so far... it has been 10 years since I did any code .

Code: Select all

Sorry, I thought you wanted at every hour.
If you want just at 7:00am you need to use this:

Code: Select all

  if (hour()==7 && minute()<=3 && second()<=20) ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port1); else ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port1);

Change the hour()==7 to hour()==19 if you want 7pm.

Thanks!

Now if I can get the web stuff figured out Ill go plug stuff into it.

[tkeracer619]

So I got WiFi connected and it was working as advertised but this morning its timing out. Is there anything I missed with my ode that would make for an unstable controller. I set it up on the tank but didn't plug anything in yet. Wanted it to run for a week or two with no problems before relying on it.

[rimai]

Is the blue LED on the wifi attachment blinking?
Is the green LED bliking fast or slow?
Can you ping the wifi attachment?
When you try to browse, do you see the orange LEDs blinking?
Can you connect to the wifi attachment using TeraTerm in telnet mode?

[tkeracer619]

I'm out of town so I had my fish feeder stop by and take a look. Green LED was blinking slow. Had him reset the router and the controller. Still slow green blink...

I had my web admin remote desktop onto my server to ping it for me and check out the router settings. Turns out the router decided this am to change the IP to the wifi module. He re-forwarded the port and made the IP static. Good to go! Way too many settings in that Cisco router for a noob like me

Thanks for the help!

[binder]

A suggestion for you with the router and IP address. I would customize your DHCP server to server up a "static ip" for the wifi module based on its MAC address. Most routers should allow for that to be done. I actually use this in my setup and do not mess with assigning a static ip on the wifi module itself.

Thanks for the tip!

I am pretty sure thats what he did but I will double check when I get home.
