Guys,

I'm going in vacation for a week. Please help me with an automatic feeding mode program.
I have an eheim feeder programmed for 9am and 6pm.
If possible, I'd like RA to enable the feeding mode at 8:55am and 5:55pm.
Here is my current Ragen generated program:

You should be able to just at this to your loop()
This will start the feeding mode only when the specified time occurs. The reason why we add the second()==0 check is so it's not run/started every second during that minute. I also combined both the morning and night checks for the hour as well.
The condition checks if the (Hour is 8 OR 6) AND (Minute is 55) AND (Seconds is 0). If all those evaluate to true, then it starts the feeding mode.

The resulting code will look something like this: I'm testing it right now and so far it's working as expected. It's doing the feeding mode countdown for me.
Give it a try and see how it works for you.

Code: Select all

#define ENABLE_ATO_LOGGING
#define ENABLE_EXCEED_FLAGS

These 2 items are currently not doing anything useful for you. You do not have any code that will display the indicators. The exceed flags can be used with the custom main. The ato logging is primarily for use with an external application. Since you don't have the wifi defined, this is just taking up some space (~200K or so).

You can save yourself some code space if you remove them. However, if you plan on using them in the future then you can leave them in.

Just thought I'd make a comment about them.

Thanks Curt, it's working great. I appreciate it.
