Oregonic Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Picked up a used apex from a fellow reefer here on the forum. Tonight I pluged in my first pieces of equipment into it, BRS dosing pumps which I previously ran on timers. I believe i got the coding correct but not sure if i have the options set correctly. From the main dash board i am unable to move the slidder away from auto, can not press the gear icon to enter settings from dash board. All the slider options apper to be greyed out. Am i just missing something simple or is it due to mu settings that I cannot move the slidder bar? Possibly something to due with port 4 and 8 containing relays? So far the dosing pumps are the only equipment plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The sliders are in the Way because you are on a "Touch Screen" you can shut this option off by clicking on your name in the top corner, select the little Wrench, then under "Display" change "Add Covers" to Never. As for coding the Timers I am not a fan of the OSC crap, I have my Bachelors in CS with plenty of development experience and still have a bit of difficulty grasping that concept. So this is what I do in place that is far more simple and easier to update in my opinion: Set OFF Fallback OFF If Time 00:30 to 00:32 Then ON If Time 04:30 to 04:31 Then ON If Time 08:30 to 08:32 Then ON If Time 12:30 to 12:31 Then ON You can add or remove the lines as needed, might be more redundant and not considered as clean but oh well it works just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregonic Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Figured it out little arrow at top see attached photo. Also found this awsome calculator for the coding for dosing pumps https://www.reeftronics.net/adpg/dosingcalc.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
