Dosing pump and Apex.

And it shows that you're thinking hard about it.

So how did you see the smoke coming out of my ears? :lol2:

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I'm beginning to understand. Of course there might be more questions.

I mainly put the if time half way through the hour of OSC to make it a backup. I know I'm never ever going to run the doser for more than 30 minutes so the OFF is always going to be for sure half way through the hour. I know it's probably not nececerry, but it's worked for me so I'll leave the code how it is.

Thanks for the info, I'll try it tomorrow.

Sorry to dig this up.

On this:

Fallback OFF
OSC 0:00/00:35/59:25 Then ON
If Time 11:30 to 10:59 Then OFF


Why does this not turn it on for 35sec every minute from 11 to 11:30?

 

[RussM]

That OSC is set to only turn on the outlet for 35 seconds each hour.

 

[ostrow]

Oh yeah. Duh! So the last thing could be 29:25.... The 59 is redundant.

Thanks!

Not really following... the "59" isn't redundant in your original code, it's telling the OSC command how many minutes to wait.

If you had 29:25 then you're telling it to wait 29 minutes 25 seconds before dosing again.

If you want 35 seconds every minute, then you want:

OSC 0:00/00:35/00:25 Then ON

 

[ostrow]

OP wanted 35 seconds once. The setting allows to increase up to 30min, once.

Fallback OFF
OSC 0:00/00:35/59:25 Then ON
If Time 11:30 to 10:59 Then OFF

It goes on at 11 for 35sec, then off for 59:25, at which point it is 12:00 and so off.

But could increase from 35sec to 30 min if also reduce the 59:25 accordingly. 59:25 could as well be 29:25.

Oh... holy smoke... you were talking about the OP's code - like from 2 years ago. Nevermind.
