I'm an IDIOT!!

[reeftank21]

Very frustrated trying to program my AC3. I've read the manual and also the manual for the Aquasurf but still having problems. I can't be the only person that can't seem to understand the language and syntax of the code. Am I missing the "other" half of the manual? I can figure out the timers, no problem. I'm trying to create profiles for my tunze pumps.

I'll try again tomorrow night.

Feel better now.
thanks

Here is a sample program; OK, it's the program I use for my main system (210g). Use it as you wish; free of charge;)

I have all the parts working, VHO, MhD, MoonSim, AquaSurf, CO2 and Kalk, fan and chiller.

Something that might help is to download the AC Simulator I wrote (via my website). It lets you 'test' your program and see how things will work.

If you get stuck there are many here that can help!

The AC Sim is a great tool, why don't you post your code and any of us can help.

[clp]

Let us know what you want to and I'll post some code.

ok thanks.... I appreciate all the help. I will look at this again this evening and probably post my program and what I'm trying to do.

thanks again
