Port toggle for driver reset

Hi,
I need to flick a port off and on again. Thought something like this but I'm not sure if I'm remotely right.
Code: Select all
//White off
if (hour()==18 && minute()==30 && second()>=0 && hour()==18 && minute()==30 && second()<2)
{
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port8);
} else {
ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port8);
}
Or is it just
Code: Select all
//White off
if (hour()==18 && minute()==30 && second()==0)
{
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port8);
} else {
ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port8);
}

Either of those should work. I'd go with the first one just because it has a little more delay.
Be aware that except for those two seconds, that port will ALWAYS be on with that code. You would also need to place it after any other code that controls that port.

So if I go with this it should just turn off for those 2 sec. Otherwise will be on 500 > 2100.
Thanks Colin

{
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port8);
} else {
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port8,5,00,21,00 );
}

There are a couple of ways.
You can do it the way you have posted.
You can do this, too.
Code: Select all
//White off
if (hour()==18 && minute()==30 && second()<2)
{
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port8);
} else {
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port8,5,00,21,00 );
}
You could also have the StandardLights up higher in your loop() and leave out the else completely.
Code: Select all
loop()
ReefAngel.Standardlights( Port8,5,0,21,0);
.

if (hour()==18 && minute()==30 && second()<2)
{
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port8);
}
