I/O Expansion module code

[Armetas]

Hi,

I've bought I/O expansion module, but after connecting it I don't know what to do next...

I have 5 float switches. I will use them to monitor all my tank water levels.

1 - Low
2 - High
3 - Low
4 - High
5 - Low

Now I don't know how to add custom screen to my RA and how to setup such functionality for float switches.
So basically what I need:

1) code which will add new page in my current screen
2) code which control float switches as mentioned above

Maybe someone can help?

Thanks in advance.

The new 2014 screen adds it automatically. Place this in your setup():

Code: Select all

  ReefAngel.Use2014Screen();

Then, use something like this in loop():

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.CustomVar [0]=0; // Initial value. Anything other than 0 means an alert.
ReefAngel.CustomVar [7]=255; // This is a dummy to make sure the Custom Variables is always enabled in the Portal 
if ( ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(1) ) ReefAngel.CustomVar [0]=1;
if ( !ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(2) ) ReefAngel.CustomVar [0]=2;
if ( ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(3) ) ReefAngel.CustomVar [0]=3;
if ( !ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(4) ) ReefAngel.CustomVar [0]=4;
if ( ReefAngel.IO.GetChannel(5) ) ReefAngel.CustomVar [0]=5;

In the portal, you can set a trigger for C0>0.
