Apex Programing - OSC
« on: January 16, 2015, 16:24:57 »
If I had a pump that I wanted to be off for 10 minutes of every 4 hours is this correct coding?

Set ON
Fallback ON
OSC 010:00/230:00/000:00 Then ON

Obviously 230 minutes is a bit lee than 4 hour, but having all of your time add up to 4 hours will make everything even through the day.

It will be off at midnight for 10 minutes, then on for 230 minutes.... Repeating through the day,   Starting over at midnight each night.

I missed the first line, that line Set ON   (Or Set OFF for that matter) do nothing when using the OSC command.   The OSC command is one of the few that generates both ON and OFF conditions.

What is that controlling

PS, for those that are doing dosing with the apex, using the OSC command,here is a cool tool to help with the calculations.  http://www.reeftronics.net/adpg/

It is my left set of pumps in the frag tank. They create surface tension allowing for matter to build up on the surface for about a 18" span from left side. Turning the pump off for a minute allows it to clear out.
