Mr. UPS dropped it off about 2 hours ago here to My office... believe it or not I've not even opened the box up yet. I am forcing myself to wait till I get home so I can start hooking things up!!

BigAl07 · 08-02-2007, 09:13 PM

It's tempting.. dang if you weren't SO far away... if I could figure how to get WORK to pay Me for being off I'd already be there with My own beer *S*

Woodstock · 08-02-2007, 09:17 PM

How is your aquacontroller doing?

BigAl07 · 08-02-2007, 09:40 PM

I think it's going GREAT!! I used the "FEED" command for the first time.. I really like it.. but I can't get the Serial to USB cable think to work right.. now yet anyway

KMP · 08-02-2007, 10:15 PM

how'd you get the feed to work? i never quite figured that piece out.

BigAl07 · 08-02-2007, 10:17 PM

I simply pushed the DOWN arrow while the main display was on it's NORMAL state (showing time, temp etc) and it said "Feed D" and I scrolled down to "Feed A" and it started counting down and turn the pumps off

KMP · 08-02-2007, 10:37 PM

well thank you sir. i'll have to try that out tomorrow.

Woodstock · 08-03-2007, 10:12 AM

There are different "feed modes"; each labeled with a different letter. If you press the 'down' button once you will get "feed mode A", twice for "feed mode B", etc. This is nice because you can set each feed mode for a different amount of seconds things remain off. I currently have two settings; A = 900 seconds (15 min) and B = 1500 seconds (25 min). The first is for feeding, the second is for water changes.

NOte that the programming should be entered for all cycles you create. For example, if you want both return pump and skimmer to stop during feed modes type:
(Where RTN = return pump, SKM = skimmer)
If Feeda = 0000 then RTN OFF
If Feeda = 0000 Then SKM OFF

Then you would want to retype those commands for everyother feedmode you use:
IF Feedb = 0000 Then RTN OFF
If Feedb = 0000 Then SKM OFF

etc, etc...

BigAl07 · 08-03-2007, 10:32 AM

Now I'm hungry!! Which Feed Mode will bring Me a Chicken Sandwhich to My office?

Woodstock · 08-03-2007, 11:03 AM

Sorry, only the PRO model does that
