post your program here
This thread is inspired by someone ( you know who you are ) that wasn't stingy with the key strokes when it came to programing his AC3.
As a someone who finds it a little hard to grasp the fine points of computers and electronics in general, I really think it would help a lot of people if you would post your program. I get the idea that this thing is capable of a lot more than the few examples in the skimpy instructions. So if you wouldn't mind...put up your program and maybe even explain in a few words any uncommon things you've done with the code. Here mine.

Also, you have 2 "If temp < - Then HET OFF" statements Otherwise looks good. |

I just had a small problem with my ATO over compensating for a skimmer over flow. Luckily my skimmer was only able to over flow 5 gals. ( I just cut it back to about 2 1/2 gals. ) so it wasn't a huge deal. What can I use to make my ATO shut off after...say 5 or 10 minutes? Is that where a Max Change line would come in? Please give me an example. Considering a max change command...would what ever equipment that it's controlling power back on after a certain amount of time?

How did you come to FUD = Superfeeder? Every other one makes sense but that one.
I just got my superfeeder today and was looking for examples

FOOD > FUD.
Just my sense of humor. I like the feeder when I travel, and I can watch feeding time through my webcam. Only problem is, the tightest setting still allows small food particles to dribble out when the SF is moved or touched. How do you like yours?

Did you mean to turn lights off when temp gets low (or high); the code above will turn them off when the temp get low? Usually you turn lights off when temp gets high.
You have 2 temps turning on the heater; did you mean to do that? If you don't need to have the KLK on at exactly the time specified you could replace these lines; what you have will work just fine though: IF TIME > 18:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 18:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 19:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 19:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 20:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 20:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 21:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 21:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 22:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 22:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 23:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 23:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 24:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 24:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 00:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 00:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 01:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 01:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 02:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 02:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 03:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 03:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 04:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 04:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 05:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 05:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 06:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 06:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 07:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 07:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 08:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 08:01 THEN KLK OFF IF TIME > 09:00 THEN KLK ON IF TIME > 09:01 THEN KLK OFF IF PH > 8.45 THEN KLK OFF with these and save some lines of code: OSC 001/060 On/Off Then KLK On // 1 min on/60 off If Time > 17:59 Then DUM On If Time > 9:01 Then DUM Off If Timer DUM = Off Then KLK Off IF PH > 8.45 THEN KLK OFF You will need to create a dummy timer (DUM# to make the above work like this: DUM-P01 - Dummy timer used to tell when KLK should be off #overriding OSC)

hello I am trying to program OSC mode to my two powerheads, but it does not work!! This is what I have:
powerhead 1 ............ pum1=C1 powerhead 2 ........... pum2=C2 OSC 060/0010 ON/OFF Then PM1 OFF OSC 060/0010 ON/OFF Then PM2 ON I can not make this statment to work!!! can anyone help me here? One question, do I need to use % or # or $ code in the names? I guess not but......

It would be better if you create a new thread so that this one keeps clean but...
You have 1 too many '0's in (it should read 060/010) but I don't think that will cause it to fail. What isn't working? Do you have other statements controlling PM1 or PM2? Do you have duplicate timer names/addresses? Do the pumps control correctly if you use manual on/off

Nothing fancy about this setup. My float switch for top-off is an NC type. Instead of AquaNotes, I have a quick and dirty Perl script that monitors the ACIII for me.
I'm also using an X10 appliance module to control the lighting on my fresh water tank.

acjr with serial port. i finally got the external switch to work for me. I have a test light LT2 to test the float switch but it constantly turns on and off LT2..is there something wrong with my program? the float switch is from the JBJ ATO but i split the wiring to go with the acjr external switch input and output on pins 1 and 2
