Ports on relay

Post by Govertical19 »

OK probably a silly questions.

Are the clients suite ports for the relay the opposite from the regen program? It looks like 1 is 8 and so on?

Like I said silly....

One more thing I am trying to upload a new code and it keeps telling me the comport is in use. I just got the power usb cable would this have anything to do with it? The client seems to work ok. but it is off currently.

Yeah :(
The picture is for relay box gen1.
We need to bug Dave to include the photo of gen2 box too.
Even though the Client is not running, there are services that run on the background. Open the Service Dash and make sure the Listener service is not running. On the Client, go to menu Settings->Modify->General and click Launch Service Dash.

K will try that. Also just to verify the pvm use the standard relay ports? I have 2 tanks and I was going to use the standard light ports but I want the tanks on different schedules. The only other way with out coding something would be to use the halide ports? And i would have to custom code something if I wanted 2 different timers for the halides for actnic and normal lighting? there is nothing in ragen or client to do that? Hope this made sense!

Correct.
If you want the ability to change timers on the fly with Client or smart phone, there are only 2 schedules available.
If not, then you can always hard code like this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardLights(Port1,9,0,21,0);

If you don't mind tell me what this code says?

I understand ReefAngel.StandardLights

Now (Port1,9,0,21,0) means.

Lol gotta start somewhere..

O and stopping the services work! Thanks!
